Dear John,

The lives of reptiles in mobile zoos, reptile markets and the pet trade are beyond unbearable. They exist purely to make a profit and entertain humans. We must take action to end this cruelty!

It's hard to believe that the photograph below, taken at a reptile market, shows animals being kept in such tiny boxes and cruelly waiting to be sold.

Each box contains a live animal, each one a different species of snake, and each an individual. They don’t know where they are, or where they will end up, and they have no choice.

“Trapped in a plastic box, not big enough for me to turn around. I have nowhere to hide, and I am just sitting, waiting for whatever is about to happen to me. I'm so scared. But this is my life.”

There is no thought to their needs, no heat lamps, and no water. They are just lying there, as if they are items on a supermarket shelf.

They don't have enough room to move around, as each box is smaller than a tupperware box you would put your sandwiches in. The snakes at the front of the photograph are being sold for £295, and the paler snakes at the back £125. Is that what their lives are worth?

You can help fight this cruelty! Please, send a gift today so we can keep fighting for animals just like those pictured above.

Over the past year, you have helped secure some amazing victories for animals just like those in the photograph above. You have helped stop several reptile market events across the UK, which you can read more about in the new edition of Release, your supporter newsletter.

Please, will you help this work continue today by sending a gift. Your gift will enable actions like those against cruel reptile markets to keep going.

It is only through such actions, and our continued lobbying work alongside our friends at Animal Protection Agency and World Animal Protection, to drive forward a ban on these markets, that we will see an end to this exploitation.

It is devastating that all too often, the rights of reptiles are overlooked. Their lives are seen as less important than other animals’. But they have the same needs, wants and fears, and they suffer the same stress as all animals do. Their lives matter! They deserve better! They deserve freedom!
