Ending animal suffering
All animals deserve a life without cruelty and pain. Elephants are cruelly trained for tourist entertainment their wild spirit brutally broken through a training process called ‘the crush’. This is just the beginning of a life of abuse and suffering.
Bears are locked up alone in tiny cages, suffering excruciating pain as their bile is extracted, sometimes daily, for use in traditional medicines.
They will endure a lifetime of intense physical and mental suffering. But with your support, with your big heart, we can end the cruel exploitation of animals and give them a life worth living.
