Hello John,

As the new school year kicks off, here are two big lessons we’ve learned afresh over the past month. One: working with others makes us strong. Two: we can always rely on YOU – thousands of you have taken action to fight trophy hunting, thank you!

This month, we’d like to give you the chance to transform two lives. Every pound you send could help not one, but two rescued lions in need of a forever home. Are you in?

WE NEED A HOME!

Have you heard about Massaï and Alakay the lions?

One from a circus, one from a zoo – they’ve spent all their lives in captivity. We long to give these two lions a loving home. If you feel the same way, please donate today.

Life in a circus ring or zoo cage is no life for a lion. Your gift could bring Massaï and Alakay to our life-changing sanctuary, in South Africa. You could help them run on grass, roll on sandy soil, snooze under shady trees, and be lavished with love.

How has beautiful Julie – who you helped rehome at a Portuguese sanctuary in July, after 40 years in the circus – settled in? One word: transformation. She’s digging, wallowing, and sleeping under the stars!

There’s a public consultation on the UK’s long-awaited Natural History GCSE and YOU can have your say. We’ve a few ideas to enhance proposed contents but, don’t delay. Your deadline is TOMORROW.

HAVE A SAY ([link removed])

Thanks for caring so deeply. Yes, our shared goals to end exploitation and promote protection are huge. But, standing next to you, we feel powerful and persistent!

So, let’s stay strong as a team and keep chipping away. Let’s do all we can to stop cruelty and encourage compassion.
