✅Cheetah’s head 🚫 Cheese sandwich When it comes to things to declare, the UK Government cares more about your lunch than dead animal parts. We say that's not good enough. It's time to end the import of hunting trophies, once and for all ➡️ brnw.ch/21x5527

Halloween has brought excitement, enrichment, and plenty of happy moments across our sanctuaries. 🧡🌳🎃 Sniffing out scent trails, investigating pumpkins, or discovering special surprises, our foxes, bears, and big cats were encouraged to express natural behaviours. 🐾👻

Despite 1,000+ objections, plans for an intensive chicken farm in Suffolk have been approved.💔 We're heartbroken. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, but every voice raised matters. With 1,821 factory farms now operating across the UK, we won't stop fighting.

Bear Na was rescued in October 2023 from a bear farm in Ho Chi Minh City. She had suffered in a tiny 1.5-metre square metal cage for many years. Now, Na enjoys watching her caretakers prepare food, foraging, and tucking into her favourite treats, especially watermelon! 🍉

Mink farming is coming to an end in Denmark! 🎉 Denmark was once the world's largest producer of mink fur. Every year, millions of mink endured a miserably short life in tiny cages before being cruelly killed for their fur. 💔 👇

Meanwhile in the UK, we are still waiting for a ban on the import and sale of fur, despite banning fur farming more than 20 years ago. We will continue to campaign for a #FurFreeBritain and a #FurFreeFuture until every cage is empty! 🦊 Are you with us? bit.ly/4i65K71

In October 2015, Erich arrived at BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach and started a brand-new chapter. After being rescued from a former park in Austria, he finally got the space and care he deserved. 💚🐻 Now 16 years old, Erich is living his best life swimming and snacking!

Rescued back in 2017, Kahraba is now enjoying the calm life he deserves at Al Ma'wa for Nature and Wildlife in Jordan. At 15 years old, this laid-back lion does things on his own terms. You'll likely find him enjoying his favourite treats or exploring his enrichment. ❤️

Today we joined some of the leading animal welfare organisations and hundreds of campaigners in carrying a very, very long petition through Central London, calling for an end to frankenchickens. Companies like Pret are profiting from cruelty. We say enough.
