Your donation today can help us take urgent action to stop the misery

Dear John,

In recent months, yet more lion and tiger cubs have been born at UK zoos in the UK. They will never know freedom, never roam their native savannahs or forests. Destined to be captive and part of the zoo industry for the rest of their lives.

CAN YOU HELP BIG CATS SUFFERING IN CAPTIVITY?

Many captive-bred big cats are wrenched from their mother’s side to be sent to other zoos, or even considered ‘surplus’ and put down. Zoos hide behind conservation and education claims, rather than admit the truth. Big cats don’t belong in zoos!

Your donation today will give Born Free the power to fight to end big cats' exploitation in captivity and protect them in the wild – where they belong.

DONATE NOW

Today, Born Free launches a hard-hitting report which exposes the dark truth behind big cats in zoos.

Some 3,000 lions, tigers, leopards and more are locked up for life in UK and European zoos – with little space, privacy, or hope. Abnormally and repetitively pacing, their future bleak and pointless. A miserable life on concrete, behind bars, gawked at by visitors.

This is why I say, ‘no more’. In fact, I shout it. With your help, we must give voice to our outrage so everyone will hear. Your gift can help us take urgent action to stop the misery.

GIVE A GIFT TODAY

Born Free might be small, but we challenge the multi-billion-pound global zoo industry, starting here in the UK. It is time to stop breeding animals who have no chance of freedom, ever. Our vision is a world where big cats are free to roam the wild, not imprisoned in zoos and put on display. But, we can’t do it without your help.

How grotesque to reduce awe-inspiring big cats to living exhibits! Please join with me and campaign for those with no voice. Let’s fight to end the exploitation of big cats in zoos.

Thank you, dear friend. Your support means so much to me.
