All of these awful situations are happening at zoos in the UK. They have been reported to us by people who were shocked and concerned to see animals being treated this way. They want someone to help these animals and end their suffering.

Frustratingly, so often by the time people reach out to us they have already tried other ways of helping the animals in the situation. But they have not been taken seriously by authorities or have reached a dead end.

You know that at Freedom for Animals we will never ignore animals in need. We may not be able to rescue all of them but we will do everything within our power to help them as much as we can.

So that is why I am asking for your help today, to help me raise funds to support a dedicated Active Response Team. This team includes researchers and investigators who will deal with these reports quickly and efficiently to help animals.

With your help we will be able to collect more evidence of animal suffering, licence breaches and other issues at captive facilities. Action can be taken sooner to help animals and hold businesses to account.

So please will you give a life-changing donation and support our Active Response Team? We need to raise at least £5,000 to power our research and investigations in 2022. Now is the best time to donate to have the biggest impact for animals!

You have already helped us make some amazing progress! Thanks to the support of you and other animal advocates like you, animals have been saved from suffering, companies have been held to account and cruel practices have been banned.

But the harsh reality is that we need more resources to be able to help more animals.

Now is your chance - if you donate to our appeal before 7th December your gift could be MATCHED, going even further for animals!

Your £5 could be doubled to £10…
Your £10 could be doubled to £20…
Your £50 could be doubled to £100… all to help animals in need!

So if you can, simply visit our website today and make your donation to animals. Please don't delay - the matched funding closes at midday on 7th Dec!
