URGENT: PLEASE SEND YOUR SUPPORT ASAP.
BIRDS ARE IN NEED RIGHT NOW
DONATE TO HELP BIRDS ([link removed])
Dear John,
Forgive me, I know I emailed you very recently. But I have to reach out to you again today.
Since my last email, our team at Freedom for Animals have received yet more reports of owls and birds of prey being exploited in public events. The Spring season brings lots of events and tragically these birds are being used as attractions. To entertain humans.
These birds are being put on display and tied down by their legs to be held captive. Unable to fly free. Birds can spend hour upon hour tied down in this way.
We have to do something to end this cruelty!
PLEASE DONATE TODAY TO HELP BIRDS ([link removed])
UPDATE: We may have a chance to end it! IF WE ACT FAST.
In the last few weeks the government has begun to consider a possible ban on the horrific practice of tethering birds in zoos! This is part of a wider review on zoo legislation and we are delighted that tethering is finally getting this attention. This is a huge opportunity to move to end this cruel practice and help thousands of suffering animals.

We are busy preparing our evidence for the government, to present a strong case for a ban on tethering.
John, this is why I am urgently appealing for your help. By sending a donation today, you can help us do all we can to pressure the government to end this awful practice. You will give birds a step towards freedom. ([link removed])

Tethering is horrifically cruel. Birds are tied down by their legs to stop them flying. They ae denied any choices about where or when they can move. When or where they can fly free.
Imagine if this were tigers or monkeys or elephants being tied down. People would be outraged! Zoos would never be allowed to get away with it!
I know that you share the same outrage against cruelty to birds, so I hope you will take action today. ([link removed])

Oscar is held captive to be used as a prop for human entertainment. The company who keeps him captive takes him from town to town as an attraction.
Humans can pay to touch him and have their photo with him. He is merely an object for their amusement.
Oscar is an eagle owl, one of the biggest owl species in the world.
His wings were designed to carry him through the night sky and will grow to be almost two metres across but sadly in a bird of prey display, he will never be able to experience that freedom.
Instead he spends hours tied down by his legs on high streets, in markets, shopping centres and other unnatural environments.
This has to end!
We have to make the most of this new opportunity to secure a ban on tethering. That is why I need your help today. Please donate what you can. ([link removed]) Together, we can change the future for thousands of birds.
For the animals,
