The spectacled bear was rescued in 2017 by ADI from a remote zoo in Peru. Taken from the wild as cubs, when her sister passed away Dominga was left all alone. She lost almost all of her fur due to stress. Five years ago ADI took Dominga home to a specially built habitat in the Peruvian forest at Taricaya Ecological Reserve. Her fur didn’t grow back but she has thrived and has two other bears, Cholita and Sabina, as neighbours. If Dominga looks completely relaxed and at home here, it’s because she is home.

On Sunday, Jade, the smallest but most boisterous of the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary’s ‘Spice Girls’ gang (Jade, Luna, Sun and Moon) was lazing in the pool in the sunshine. Then she got out and broke into a run, chasing after each of her sisters, one after the other, finally breaking into a wild game with sister Luna. First rearing up, then nuzzling and then racing off together to cause more trouble!
As cubs, these tigers were passed around in a circus in Guatemala to be cuddled and photographed with the public. They wouldn’t want to try that now! Big cats want to play like big cats. They don’t want to be torn away from their families, poked and prodded by humans. That’s why ending private ownership and petting of big cats worldwide is so important.
At the ADIWS we let tigers be tigers.

The Big Cat Public Safety Act passed the Senate today and now heads to President Joe Biden to be signed into law. We are just one small step away from ending the breeding of big cats for cub petting, photo ops, backyard ‘zoos’, and the pet trade in the US. THANK YOU to Rep Mike Quigley and Senator Richard Blumenthal for their leadership, to everyone who contacted their Congress members urging their support, and to those who helped to spread the word. Years of hard work saw this landmark victory for the animals today. The rampant cycle that fuels the trade and trafficking that’s killing big cats in the wild ends here.
Now, let’s end the suffering of big cats and other animals in circuses across the US. Urge your Congress members to co-sponsor the Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act (#TEAPSPA, HR5999/ S3220): bit.ly/SupportTEAPSPA

Two young racehorses died during the opening weekend of California’s Del Mar racetrack’s fall season. A 5-year-old gelding collapsed and died while walking to the barn after the race. Two days later, a 6-year-old gelding collapsed at the track and later died. Both incidents were reported as sudden deaths. Such loss of life is not unusual in horse racing. Far from harmless, the physical strain of racing takes its toll on the animals, with many suffering bleeding lungs, bone and muscle damage, and other (including drug-related) injuries which can lead to death.
How you can help:
❌Do not attend or bet on animal races.
✅ Protest local horse races on social media or in person
✅ Contact your local and federal legislators and urge them to support legislation to protect horses: bit.ly/contactUSlegislators
✅ Sign the petition: ladyfreethinker.org/sign-ban-brutal-state-sanction…
Please spread the word about the hidden suffering behind horse racing.

BRING LONELY RUBEN HOME TO AFRICA. Five years ago, a small private zoo in Armenia closed and the animals were relocated – but Ruben was left behind...BRING LONELY RUBEN HOME TO AFRICA. Five years ago, a small private zoo in Armenia closed and the animals were relocated – but Ruben was left behind. He has not heard the voices of his own kind in all that time. When Ruben roars nobody roars back. Can you imagine not hearing a human voice for five years? Ruben deserves his chance at life. We want to take him to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, South Africa, to a huge natural habitat and the sight and sound of his own kind. Today on #GivingTuesday, help raise funds to transform Ruben’s life.
An Armenian sanctuary has agreed to be a temporary place of safety, provided ADI can fund Ruben’s care for the next several months, cover his veterinary procedures, process his export, and import permits, pay for his flight, and prepare a house and habitat for him at the ADIWS.

The ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa was founded to provide a natural home when animals in circuses are banned. ADI has undertaken huge rescues to enforce bans, emptying every cage in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Guatemala. These animals cannot return to the wild, they are in-bred and physically and psychologically damaged by years of abuse, so since 2019 almost all of the circus lions and tigers from Guatemala, Colombia and Peru have come here. Our 455 acre sanctuary gives them a life as close to nature as possible, living with dignity and freedom in large habitats.
Follow ADI to find out how we give abused animals back their lives and our work to secure the type of laws that brought these animals home. For more on the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary: adiwildlifesanctuary.org.za
