Our report on @FreeBunka is published today. See the thread below or just visit https://t.co/UCZLHoY8Pl. Thanks to @tina_ppd for her tireless effort on this

Friends of Bunka are pleased to publish our report on @FreeBunka after our inspection last Nov at @YerevanZoo https://t.co/S2V3uYCsgU
Thanks to Marian Garaï, Ingo Schmidinger, and Brett Mitchell for great work. It's a damning report on his captivity. Time to #freebunka

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

It's the beginning of Kariba's new journey to sanctuary life @PangeaTrust. Compassion. Something @YerevanZoo will never understand for @FreeBunka or the **** that thinks he's done a great job with Bunka's care

@DonnaFi97937470 @BornFreeFDN We are asking supporters to post using hashtags from COP17 underway in Armenia to try to attract the delegates there to Bunka's plight. #COP17 COP17Armenia

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

Thank you to @BornFreeFDN for including @freebunka in this sad yet poignant round up of all the elephants being abused by zoos in solo captivity.

@janeloveseles @ThatZooKid @BornFreeFDN If you are too lazy to read about this individual case and just on here because you have an axe to grind with Born Free, write to them and stop harassing us.

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@janeloveseles @ThatZooKid @BornFreeFDN We appreciate your support, Jane. This is a horror case of poor elephant welfare and husbandry by an unqualified advisor. No elephants should live their entire life alone.

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@Suparnastar Having frameworks of agreement & memorandums of mutual understanding is like fiddling why Rome burns when it comes to the suffering elephants are suffering now.

#COP17 delegates. Welcome to #Yerevan. While you discuss biodiversity do ask your hosts why @freebunka has spent 11years alone in squalid unenriched confinement and why they've rebutted offers to give him a better life. #CBDCOP17 #COP17Armenia (keep retweeting official hashtags)

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@LaraAAnderson1 @geviskajyan @ArmNatCongress @Arm @armradio @MIAofArmenia @armenia @YerevanZoo Probably not so many of delegates heading to #COP17 #COPArmenia

@Chez_Em @TobiasDornbusch @YerevanZoo @alensimonyan @COP17_Arm2026 @NikolPashinyan @AvinyanTigran @armgov Cool post

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@janischshane Like it.

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@Chez_Em @YerevanZoo Nice. Thank you all.

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

Delegates to COP17. While you discuss saving global biodiversity with your hosts in Armenia, a few miles away at @YerevanZoo this elephant suffers in squalor. Ask your hosts why they have refused to send him to sanctuary. #COP17 #COP17Armenia #Yerevan2026 #TakingActionForNature

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@FleurFleurshack @TobiasDornbusch @YerevanZoo We have been urging supporters on this platform to point out Bunkas plight by using the COP17 Armenia hashtags so delegates learn of his plight. #COP17 #COP17Armenia #Yerevan2026 #TakingActionForNature

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

I was shown a comment from @FreeBunka's tormentor @TobiasDornbusch who is responsible for Bunka's misery suggesting he wasn't actually hitting the feeder hard it just sounded worse due to an echo. He said this in no way suggested stereotyping. #COP17 @YerevanZoo #COP17Armenia

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@FleurFleurshack @TobiasDornbusch @YerevanZoo We have been in direct contact with the aurhtories since 2021. Sadly, they do not care about the welfare of Bunka

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@janeloveseles @TobiasDornbusch @YerevanZoo Yes, he thwarted all criticism of the zoo and his treatment of Bunka

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@SigneSol0 @TobiasDornbusch @YerevanZoo It's a nice thought

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@Stacy09804068 @Chez_Em @UKinArmenia @AlexColeFCDO @NikolPashinyan @AvinyanTigran @armgov @FPWC_news @ProEleNetwork @tinker_bell0 @RobRobbEdwards @ElephantsRule @loulou750 @anikasleem @Cosmicbrigade @redcat_Ann @Asw2belle @CheetahGirl001 @IngridWierts @LaraAAnderson1 @cd3k_ @janischshane @PeterEgan6 @Susana643500 @Protect_Wldlife @nessallan They are being advised, badly, by an advisor called Tobias who still believes he has made Bunka's life and health better. He is still misinforming people about @FreeBunka' s wellbeing

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

As she says... include the official COP hashtags. Let delegates read ho a highly sentient creature is treated

[Chez_Em @Chez_Em]

Anyone seeing my post below please comment & add #cop17 #cop17Armenia to your comments & share. Its the best hope of delegates from global conservation & wildlife advocates seeing what is going on under their noses.
Ww desperately need to #FREEBUNKA to sanctuary that awaits him

[FreeBunka @FreeBunka]

@Chez_Em @janischshane Thank you both. It is the best hope of delegates from global conservation and wildlife advocates seeing what is going on under their noses
