Dear John,
Great news! The future dates for a monthly reptile handling event carried out by the mobile zoo ‘North West Reptile Club’ at Brockholes Nature Reserve (part of the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside), have been cancelled!
After being alerted to the recurring event by a concerned supporter, we wrote a letter to the Lancashire Wildlife Trust to share our concerns regarding the event, and to ask them to reconsider the allowance of mobile zoos and live animal events on their land.
Like you, we were taken aback that a wildlife trust, which should be focussed on protecting natural habitats and the wildlife that resides in them, was holding an event that used exotic animals in such an exploitative manner, so it was important to raise these issues with the trust, and discuss why the hosting of businesses who use animals for profit should never be accepted by a nature reserve who is supposed to work towards conserving nature and wildlife.

Thankfully, from this day forward Lancashire Wildlife Trust will no longer be hosting this cruel event, and has ceased their association with North West Reptile Club on all upcoming dates. We welcome this news and hope to see the Wildlife Trust maintaining their own stated values by never again hosting animal exploitation on their sites.
Yet alongside this great news, we also receive countless tip-offs from you, our valued supporters, of other live animal events happening across the UK.
We are on a mission to expose mobile zoo cruelty and end this industry once and for all, but we could never even hope to achieve that without your continued support, so thank you for all you do!
