Two dogs found stuffed in a sack with their mouths taped shut. Police in Vietnam stopped suspected dog thieves carrying electric shock devices and other tools.

The dogs survived, but millions won’t. Every year, millions of dogs and cats are killed in the dog & cat meat trade. 💔

Half a million voices call for an end to live lamb cutting 🐑📢

As part of a global FOUR PAWS movement, we paid a visit to the Australian Embassy in London to hand in 500k signatures calling for protection for lambs.

Join our movement today➡️ https://t.co/FlmFT9MXL8

#BreakingNews🦊
The Government has launched a public consultation on trail hunting to determine how to take the ban forward.

Have your say now and help ensure action is taken to protect wild animals that suffer at the hands of hunters. ➡️ https://t.co/LDvulcDzaa

#Breaking: Over 200,000 people have called for a public animal abuser register.

We don’t just need stronger laws, we need systems that actually protect animals. That means:
✅ Better tracking of offenders
✅ Stronger enforcement of bans
✅ Safer, smarter sharing of information

[FOUR PAWS UK @FOURPAWSUK]

⏳ 12 weeks since the consultation closed, and no plan yet to end cages for hens.

Around 7–10 million hens are still confined in “enriched” cages each year.

📢 We’re calling for action:
Publish the response. Set a timeline.
🐔 Hens have waited long enough.

Happy Rescueversary to Romeo 👑✨
Two years ago, he left circus life for sanctuary at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary after years in a tiny cage.

Now he’s thriving 🦁!
Space to roam, sun on his mane, and the life he deserves.
Here’s to healing & main character energy ✨🐾

A tourist has died at an elephant camp in India after a “bathing experience” turned deadly.🚨🐘

These encounters = stress, exploitation & real danger.
Animals don’t exist for our entertainment.

Choose distance. Choose compassion. Choose #TravelKind.

🐾🔥 Hot pavement burns paws 🔥🐾
If it’s too hot for your hand for 7 seconds, it’s too hot for your dog.

☀️ Asphalt gets much hotter than the air.
✅ Walk early/late
✅ Stick to grass/shade
Be their voice 💛🐶

PROGRESS! 🎉 Sweden takes a major step toward banning fur farming. A new inquiry confirms it can and should be prohibited on animal welfare grounds.

With mink farming already phased out in 2025, key barriers are gone.

Once part of South Africa’s “Golden Pride,” Kali and nine lions were rescued by FOUR PAWS and arrived at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary in November 2022.

Now Kali is thriving! Playful, free, and even throwing the occasional backflip, just as a lion should. 🧡

We have received a message through our reporting tool in Vietnam about a case of cat theft.

This is happening in broad daylight at a public bus station in Vietnam. Cats stolen from the streets or family homes to be sold for their meat.
This has to stop now. 🛑

Portugal is turning the page on wild animals in circuses 🎉
Julie, the last circus elephant, is finally heading to a sanctuary 🐘.

This is a huge milestone, but across Europe animals still suffer.
Wild animals don’t belong in circuses 📣

[FOUR PAWS UK @FOURPAWSUK]

A tiger escaped a private facility near Leipzig, seriously injuring a man before being shot dead💔.

This tragedy shows the danger of keeping wild animals for entertainment.
Wild animals' needs can’t be met in cages - and when they’re exploited, animals & people are put at risk.

#BreakingNews 📢: Milan fashion week is 'discouraging' fur.

Whilst this is a step in the right direction, we want to see Milan join London & New York in banning fur completely.

❗️Compassion will always be in fashion - cruel fur certainly will not❗️

[FOUR PAWS UK @FOURPAWSUK]

Did you know a sow spends a quarter of her life trapped in a metal cage? 🐷

She can’t turn, nest or bond with her piglets - forced to lie on hard floors, often in waste 💔 This is no life.

It’s time to #CutTheCages. Join us ➡️ https://t.co/GsTuQqoyAA

Major UK supermarket fashion brands sell animal-derived products without strong welfare policies. This means their supply chains could be linked to cruelty like live plucking.

Fashion should NEVER cost lives. Join the battle against cruelty in fashion➡️ https://t.co/OtdMIWbAaQ

#BreakingNews for elephants!🐘

The Forest Department in Bangladesh has introduced new regulations prohibiting cruel and abusive activities affecting elephants, including elephant riding, logging and use in circuses - all of which are now recognised as forms of animal torture.

[FOUR PAWS UK @FOURPAWSUK]

#BREAKING🚨: No new animal welfare laws in the King’s Speech.

Despite years of promises, key measures like a hunting trophy import ban are still missing.
While action stalls, animals suffer.

We will continue to speak up for animals. They matter, & must not be forgotten.

[FOUR PAWS UK @FOURPAWSUK]

Puppies lying in their own filth, surrounded by the remains of dead dogs in a crumbling brick barn full of dirty cages - conditions bad enough to make officials cry 💔.

Local authority licensing is failing across the UK, and it cannot continue like this.
Dogs deserve better.

[FOUR PAWS UK @FOURPAWSUK]

This Saturday in London, we joined @LeagueACS at their peaceful #TimeForChange rally ☀️🦊

Campaigners came together in Westminster to call for stronger protections for wild animals affected by hunting with dogs.

It's time to close the loophole. It's time to end trail hunting.
