Notice something missing from these shirts modelled by our Co-Founders Dame Virginia McKenna & @willtravers? 👀

Shockingly, since England’s 1966 World Cup win, 3 out of 4 wild lions have vanished.

🦁 Help us keep the roars alive.

Everyone banged on about doing “No Mow May” but nobody mentioned the following month would be “can’t bloody mow anyway because it won’t stop sodding raining for three seconds June”

❗ Marineland Update

Reports suggest Marineland, Antibes, may send orcas Wikie and Keijo to SeaWorld, Orlando, continuing their exploitation.

Born Free urges Marineland to secure true sanctuary care for the orcas as well as the 12 bottlenose dolphins housed there.

We welcome news that South Lakes Safari Zoo will close at the end of 2024, after multiple investigations highlighted catastrophic failings. We now urge all parties to prioritise the animals' welfare until appropriate homes can be secured for them.👇

@richardosman Air wolf!

This is pretty shocking. We need a complete overhaul of how zoos are regulated, a complete rethink about their purpose and future
