This is the first of a series of videos documenting what we uncovered at Cumbria Safari Zoo.
In the run up to Zoo Awareness Weekend - our annual event dedicated to sharing the truth about zoos and how they exploit animals - we will be dropping ONE video A DAY, to share the shocking evidence we gathered during this groundbreaking investigation with you, our valued supporter.
The investigation spanned over 11 months, and uncovered a disturbing reality of animal injury, illness and death; overcrowding; negligent animal welfare practices; poor infrastructure; and inadequate veterinary care.
Throughout this video series, you will hear of Mona and Zippy, two elderly Andean bears who bang on their cage doors every day out of boredom and frustration. And of Bruce the lemur, who is repeatedly bullied by other lemurs at the zoo, so much so that he is too scared to come indoors and often hides outside, even in winter when he risks freezing to death.
We now need your help to share the reality for these animals held captive at this zoo. So please, head to our social media accounts each day and SHARE each video as they drop daily!
