These roads are essential to the welfare of our rescued big cats and for any emergencies like fighting wildfires and getting an animal to the hospital if needed. Can you chip in to help us repair the roads before the next rains (a 4-month window)?

TODAY IS THE #TEAPSPA DAY OF ACTION TO END CIRCUS SUFFERING IN THE US.
Get loud for circus animals across the US. Please email your legislators and urge them to cosponsor the Traveling Exotic Animal & Public Safety Protection Act (HR5999/S3220).
Studies of the use of wild animals in traveling circuses show that circuses cannot provide for the physical, behavioral, or psychological needs of wild animals. Animals are confined in small spaces, deprived of physical and social needs, spending excessive amounts of time shut in trailers. They perform through fear, not enjoyment, and are routinely subjected to violence and brutal training methods.
HELP END THIS FOR GOOD. Join fellow animal advocates across the US in urging your Congress members to support TEAPSPA. They need to know how important this bill is to you. THE ANIMALS ARE COUNTING ON YOU. bit.ly/SupportTEAPSPA
Wherever you live, please help us reach more people by spreading the word. Every one of you can make a difference.

50 countries have already banned wild animals in circuses, most recently in Armenia – but not the United States. In all but a handful of states, it is still legal to keep elephants in chains and force them to perform tricks like this (Photographed in Pennsylvania). 50 countries have shown the way. Together, we can take off the chains, empty the cages, and transform animals’ lives in the US, just as we have done in countries like Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala and Colombia.
PLEASE SPEAK UP FOR ANIMALS SUFFERING IN US CIRCUSES. Join our #TEAPSPA Days of Action, April 19 and 21, and spread the word. On those days, we want to raise our collective voices and contact Congress members so that they hear us loud and clear – we want them to cosponsor the Traveling Exotic Animal & Public Safety Protection Act (HR5999/S3220), the federal bill to ban the use of wild and exotic animals in traveling acts across the US. SAVE THE DATE & SPREAD THE WORD. bit.ly/SupportTEAPSPA

Saved from suffering in circuses in Guatemala, Peru and Colombia, the big cats now roam large natural habitats, free to do as they want, but they still enjoy the excitement of anything new, and love their new toys.

Horse riding has been dropped from the modern pentathlon after the abuse seen at the Tokyo Olympics, where Germany’s coach punched a horse for refusing to jump a fence, drawing worldwide outrage.
A proposal to replace pentathlon horse riding was already under consideration and has now been unanimously endorsed. The change is expected to be implemented by the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The sport’s governing body, Union Internationale de Pentathlon (UIPM), has opened a consultation to find a suitable replacement activity – ADI urges UIPM to leave the animals out. Unwilling animal participants do not belong in aggressive human competitions.
