Half a million voices are calling on #Australia to end live lamb cutting. 🐑💔

More than 10 million lambs endure this painful procedure every year, despite proven alternatives exist.

The world is watching.

It’s time to #EndLiveLambCutting by 2030.

Potap’s weekend agenda: Destress. 🐻✨
☀️ Morning sun nap

For a rescued bear, sanctuary life means having the freedom to choose how to spend the day.

This weekend, we’re taking notes from Potap.

POV: You came for the #WorldCup. Stayed for Lubumbashi. 🦁⚽

Our star striker at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary is bringing serious match-day energy.

For rescued big cats like Lubumbashi, play is more than fun. Enrichment helps keep them active, curious and engaged. 🧡

From a life of illegal captivity… to safety, care, and the space to finally be a lion. 🍀🦁⁠

It’s been almost a year since young Mero arrived at FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary after rescue from isolation in a private home.

He's now even growing a mane. ✨⁠

@BanFishing_ Sadly with so many strays, low adoption rates, and many dogs too fearful to be adopted, returning sterilised, vaccinated dogs to the territory they know is the safest, least harmful option. Treatment improved chances to live a long, healthy life and stop more puppies being born.

[FOUR PAWS Australia @fourpawsAU]

This puppy lives among rubbish in a landfill. 💔

In Kosovo, trained dog catchers Nikolay and Evgeni safely catch stray #dogs so they can be sterilised, vaccinated, treated and returned.

It takes speed, patience and deep knowledge of dog behaviour.
This is CNVR in action. 🐾

Today's World #MeatExhaustionDay reminds us: animals like her pay the price with factory farms. 🐷💔

Australia is now the #1 meat‑eating country.

Mother pigs can’t turn around, trapped in crates. Crowding fuels disease. Antibiotics fuel AMR.

This system harms everyone.

[FOUR PAWS Australia @fourpawsAU]

Join our movement to #EndTheCageAge:
1️⃣ Make animal‑friendly food choices: Reduce → Replace → Refine (choose cage‑free)
2️⃣ Ask retailers & restaurants to go cage‑free
3️⃣ Speak up to government: Australia shouldn’t wait until 2036 to end battery cages.

No animal should live like this. 💔

Across Australia, millions of animals raised for food are still trapped in cages, crates & crowded sheds. These anxious, highly stressed animals live short, miserable lives.

Many never get to see sunlight. 🐔🐷🐇🦆

#EndTheCageAge

[FOUR PAWS Australia @fourpawsAU]

8.3 billion people. 87.9 billion animals slaughtered every year.

We’re nearing Global #MeatExhaustionDay, a reminder that our unsatiable appetite for meat is putting animals in factory farms.

Eating less and better meat can help reduce suffering and build a kinder food system.

[FOUR PAWS Australia @fourpawsAU]

A landfill should never be a home. 💔🐕

In Podujeva, Kosovo, hundreds of dogs live among piles of waste. In 10 days, our team & Dr Albatrit Halili treated 120 dogs. Less pain, less disease, fewer puppies born into this struggle.

More still need us. Follow our mission.

Some goodbyes stay with you forever… 🐿️🐑

After being rehabilitated, this tiny squirrel climbed onto Lulu’s back for one last moment together before returning to the wild.

Lulu stood perfectly still, softly wagging her tail. 💕

Some friendships are brief but unforgettable.

[FOUR PAWS Australia @fourpawsAU]

If you’ve ever mistaken Nala for a giant teddy bear, we get it. 🧸💚

Once trapped in a tiny cage and fed scraps as a "restaurant bear" in Kosovo, she now spends her days roaming, resting and crunching her favourite cherries at our BEAR SANCTUARY Prishtina.

Yumz! 🍒

Brothers one minute. Squabbling siblings the next. 🐯💛

After being rescued from a failing zoo, Shevar and Sharukh now have space, stimulation and each other at LIONSROCK #BigCatSanctuary.

Even tiger siblings squabble, but they always find their way back. 💛

Five tiny kittens in a box, abandoned overnight in a forest. 😸📦⁠

Rescued at Sungai Wain in Borneo, now safe with our partners Pro Natura Foundation. Soon the three boys Chitose, Chitato, and Calpico and two girls Chewy and Chici will be ready for adoption.
