"Dat Man Got Ah Big Heart". We're devastated to hear that @BZephaniah a gentle, courageous and beautiful soul, has passed. To pay tribute we're sharing the story of when he visited our China bear sanctuary and dazzled us with his brilliance and kindness https://t.co/UPkjqqxoVQ💔

A week in the life of our Air Wing recently involved sighting a massive herd of 200 elephants 🐘, checking on water sources for wildlife💧 & monitoring elephants for injuries 🛩️. For more updates on the amazing impact our team is making, visit: https://t.co/6sOR9IsXpE

Planting the right 🌲🌲🌲 in the right places, working with local communities and ensuring new growth will be protected? Thanks to regenerative approaches, landscape restoration can deliver multiple benefits for nature, people, and the climate. #COP28. https://t.co/nZ1gJwGxHb

The EU has a reputation as a world leader on animal welfare. It must not let this slip.

[World Animal Protection @MoveTheWorld]

Though any step towards better animal welfare is welcome, the revision of these regulations falls well short of what citizens expected from the European Union and does not live up to the EU’s values.

[World Animal Protection @MoveTheWorld]

1.5 million citizens called on the EU to end fur farming.

Right across the EU, wild animals, including minks, foxes, and racoon dogs, are kept in tiny cages, hindered from displaying natural behaviour and killed solely for their fur.

[World Animal Protection @MoveTheWorld]

The European Commission must release ambitious proposals regarding animal welfare in the coming months that will end systems of cruel industrial farming forever and listen to its citizens and eradicate fur farms and the trade in fur forever.

[World Animal Protection @MoveTheWorld]

Beyond the lack of animal welfare in fur farms, there is a serious risk of zoonotic disease outbreaks as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic in mink farms.

Fur Farms also pollute and pose a further threat to the climate crisis.

[World Animal Protection @MoveTheWorld]

Another failure for animals is the The Commission’s response to the   European Citizens Initiative, ‘Fur Free Europe’, which aimed to end the production and trade in fur across the EU.

[World Animal Protection @MoveTheWorld]

Animals will still be exported live to non-EU countries, but it is not guaranteed that these animals will be protected under EU legislation in transit.

Transportation will also not stop on the basis of reaching the maximum or minimum temperature, which can be fatal for animals.

[World Animal Protection @MoveTheWorld]

The Live Transport regulation was promised as one of a series of Animal Welfare laws released by the end of this year, which we have seen either delayed or watered-down.

[World Animal Protection @MoveTheWorld]

The EU Commission's announcement today on the revised regulations of live animal transport and fur farming falls short of what we expected and hoped for and does not go far enough to protect animals.

Take action now! Tell the Ontario government to require licenses for breeders & create strong legal standards for the breeding & care of dogs 👇 https://t.co/MgzbvprCyM

[Animal Justice @AnimalJustice]

BREAKING: Ontario has tabled a new bill that fails to protect dogs from cruelty in #PuppyMills 🐶

The bill doesn’t limit the no. of dogs who can be bred, protect dogs from being caged 24/7, or require breeder licensing—making enforcement impossible.

Yesterday Taabu made the big leap & graduated to our Ithumba Reintegration Uniit. It’s been a journey long in the making; he was only 12-months-old when he was abandoned during a drought in 2021. From a skin & bones beginning, he fully recovered and is now embarking on the next exciting step in his journey back to the wild!
