Three lions recently died at Tokyo's Tama Zoological Park.
Mugi, Ichigo, and Luena were born, lived, and died in confinement, deprived of everything that makes life worth living for a wild animal. Taking care of lions and other animals during a heatwave is the most basic job a zoo has to do, yet the animals pay the price when facilities fail. This tragedy is a stark reminder that zoos can never provide wild animals with the control and freedom they need to protect themselves.
Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. At Ichikawa City Zoo, Punch the monkey remains deprived of the freedom, companionship, and stimulation that intelligent, social primates need. At Tennoji Zoo, elephants Dara, Amoi, and Kelat (DAK) are kept in barren enclosures that can never provide the space, autonomy, social lives, or opportunities to roam that elephants need to thrive.
Zoos are not rescues or sanctuaries; they exist to display animals for profit, not to put animals' needs first.

๐๐ Victory for horses in the Philippines! Authorities in Laguna cancelled an illegal horse race after PETA alerted officials that the event would expose horses to risks of injury, exhaustion, and stressโmarking the first time in the country that an illegal horse race was stopped before it happened ๐๐
Horses deserve protection, not exploitation.
Being a good dog guardian means more than providing food and shelter. It means making time every day for walks, play, exploration, and companionshipโbecause a happy dog needs love, enrichment, and quality time with the people they trust โค๏ธ๐ถ
Kabang was tied to a moving truck and forced to run nearly 25 kilometers until he collapsed๐ After the shocking footage went viral, PETA stepped in and brought him to safety.
Today, he's safe, loved, and finally enjoying the peaceful life every horse deserves โค๏ธ

Today's official World Cup match balls are made from animal-free materials ๐โฝ Yet over a billion cows and other animals are slaughtered every year, and their skin is turned into shoes, jackets, belts, and handbags, and other products.
If the ball on the pitch can leave animal leather behind, so can we.
Choose vegan fashion and help take cruelty out of the game ๐๐
PETA's latest exposรฉ footage shows that badgers are confined in cramped cages on fur farms before being bludgeoned to death for their hair, which can be used in makeup brushes. No beauty routine is worth this kind of cruelty ๐๐ฆก
Choose from the many high-quality synthetic, cruelty-free brushes instead.
Take action to help badgers today: https://t.co/ijyNJDq2CS
This image shows an Ajinomoto-funded study published earlier this month, in which experimenters fed mice an ingredient derived from coffee, injected them with cancer cells, repeatedly forced them to run on a treadmill, took blood from their eye sockets, and then killed them ๐๐ญ
Ajinomoto has been funding and conducting cruel and deadly tests on animals for decades.ย

๐ Elephants belong in nature, with their families, roaming freeโnot performing for our entertainment.ย
Never watch an elephant show. Never ride an elephant. And never support zoos that keep elephants confined.
BREAKING:ย After 33 years of isolation in India, Madhuri finally found peace and companionship at Vantara, a lush forest refuge.
But the temple that she was seized from, is demanding she be confined again and used for parading ๐๐
Respected Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis @Dev_Fadnavis and Minister of Forests @iGaneshNaik: please keep elephant Madhuri in much-needed retirement!ย
The temple can use a life-like mechanical elephant instead, offered by @PetaIndia
For decades, Ajinomoto experimenters have tormented, mutilated, and killed animals in archaic experiments that are neither relevant to human health nor required by law ๐

๐จ STOP BULL CRUELTYย
In India, Pepsiโs sugar suppliers force bulls to haul overloaded carts full of sugarcane (up to 4 tonnes!) under gruelling conditions. Many of the exhausted animals suffer bloody wounds from the barbed-wire spikes that tear into their faces if they โdisobeyโ by turning their heads ๐๐
Demand @Pepsi and its partners go bull-free NOW!
In China, large groups of protestors have been gathering to demand justice for these dogs, and the overwhelming response on social media shows widespread support for animal protection statutes.ย
Without meaningful legal protections, animals remain dangerously vulnerable, and abusers escape punishment.ย This case should be a turning point. China needs strong anti-cruelty legislation to help prevent such horrific abuse and ensure that those who harm animals are held accountable.
A glue trap can mean hours or days of panic, injury, dehydration, and suffering before death ๐
Imagine being stuck, struggling to breathe, and unable to escape. NEVER use glue traps!
