To the Barrow Borough Council, City Councils and Mayors everywhere:

We are appalled by the conditions of the South Lakes Safari Zoo. We strongly urge you to close it down as well as the thousands of abusive zoos in our cities, and transfer the animals to sanctuaries where they can roam free in the wild. Animals are sentient beings and we no longer accept holding them in captivity solely for human entertainment.

Shut down this nightmare zoo
Animals found half eaten in their cages. Some electrocuted. Others frozen to death.

It’s like a zoo from a horror flick -- but this is happening in real life at the South Lakes Safari Zoo in England. They almost lost their license to operate -- but shockingly this nightmare zoo is still in operation!

When we see animals for what they are -- sentient beings with thoughts and emotions -- this kind of suffering becomes unbearable.

Massive public outrage helped shut down a zoo in Argentina -- we can do it again, and take our momentum from England to South East Asia and all over the world where thousands of innocent and beautiful animals are suffering in tiny cages just for entertainment. Add your name and tell everyone.
