Chickens do not enjoy roaming in open spaces without cover. Foliage makes them feel safe to explore and protects them from bad weather and predators. All eggs no matter what branding or labels are on the box, are made with suffering. Go vegan.

This #BanLiveExports Day, LFT is joining 130+ charities, experts, and public figures from 33 countries in calling for a global ban on live animal exports. Animals endure overcrowding, hunger, dehydration & extreme stress during journeys that can last weeks. End this cruelty.

@TheViditsharma @ARCrusade Horrible

[Vidit Sharma 🇮🇳 @TheViditsharma]

For the past few days, I have been searching for an Instagram page that uploads videos of donkeys and mules being forced to pull unbearable loads. The scenes are heartbreaking animals collapsing from exhaustion, dragging impossible weights, being beaten when they can no longer move, and suffering immense pain.

What is even more disturbing is that these videos are uploaded to gain views, likes, and engagement. The suffering of a living being is being turned into entertainment.

Such Instagram handles should be immediately blocked, and those responsible for exploiting and abusing these animals must be held accountable for their actions.

No animal should ever be loaded beyond its physical capacity. In a modern world with so many alternatives available, the use of animals for heavy loading work should be gradually phased out.

A society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable. These voiceless souls deserve compassion, not cruelty. Their pain should never become someone's content.

Please report this Instagram account.

Guille is lovely and cheeky, and she always makes us smile when we see her speeding over to the fence.

In the heart of a soft, sunlit jungle, where the leaves danced in the wind as if whispering secrets, a great Tiger rested near a huge tree.

He was magnificent.

Lying in the warm grass, his paws crossed, he seemed completely at peace. His eyes were almost closed, his breathing slow and calm. The animals of the forest tiptoed past him.

— “Shhh… the king of the jungle is sleeping,” whispered a young Langur.

Even the Parrots spoke more quietly. Even the wind itself seemed to move with care.

But in this jungle, everyone knew a secret.

Because this Tiger had a rather unusual way of resting.

One ear always remained slightly raised.

And sometimes…

Just sometimes…

One eye would open.

Not for long. Just long enough to glance around.

As if to say:

“I’m resting, yes… but I’m watching too.”

@SheldrickTrust So sweet

Raising young orphaned elephants requires extraordinary commitment. Every step of the way, we are by their sides – from milk‑bottle feeds to night‑time cuddles, and first mud baths to graduating to one of our Reintegration Units. And it requires donors like you, who adopt and become a part of our foster family, ensuring we can guide these babies back to a wild life.

Become one of our foster parents today and adopt an orphan in our care: https://t.co/k3y1t6RCeK

@SheldrickTrust The Keepers are amazing.

[Sheldrick Wildlife Trust @SheldrickTrust]

Wondering how our Keepers became elephant guardians?

It’s not anything one would find on a resume. While many of our Keepers have shambas or raise livestock back home, none have worked professionally with elephants before. Over the years, we've found it best to include the orphans in our recruitment process: they are quick to identify the ‘X factor’ that makes an excellent Keeper, which is why we ultimately put recruitment in their capable hands. New candidates join the orphan herd on a trial basis, and if they are embraced by the elephants, they are hired as a full-time Keeper. Keeper Jackson passed the ‘interview’ years ago, and has been a vital part of our team since.

Our logic is that each person, with their diverse background, opens a whole new dimension to the role. This strategy has the added bonus of fostering conservation awareness across the country. Keepers become vital ambassadors within their own communities. Over the years, many orphans have been saved by ordinary people who developed empathy for elephants through a Keeper who is a father, uncle, friend, or neighbour.

@GlobalElephants Beautiful Mara

@SheldrickTrust Poor baby! Thank you SWT for saving this ellie! She is already loved.

Rescued at night from a septic pit – Zuri is the latest 🐘 addition to our Nursery herd.

It's a miracle she was discovered, and in the nick-of-time, as the little submerged calf would not have survived the night. Once on dry land, she was quickly cleaned off and taken to our Voi stockades to rest. Next morning, we flew Zuri to Nairobi and three weeks on this chubby little miracle is finding her feet, surrounded by the love of adoring nannies.

Zuri's full story is online, where you can join her journey from day one with an adoption: https://t.co/RBNyett5B7

Mara (left) and Rana (right) are typically together all day. They slowly wander through the habitats, grazing and spending quiet moments together.

While Guillermina relaxed in the shade with a hay snack, Maia and Bambi spent time splashing at the water trough. Eventually, the older girls sought out their younger friend and joined her in the shade. Read more: https://t.co/SPRiTMIBVC
