I will GLADLY go vegan: Just as soon as these major vegan organizations understand the importance of accredited zoos and aquariums. 👍

@allaseal Every AZA zoo needs to push for an investigation into these calls this is fucking ridiculous. How many more zoos have to go through this before it’s taken seriously?

@Tyler496 @footballfoodfun @pleiade5ubaru I worked at a zoo, they are. We take in rescued and injured animals that aren’t able to be released. Not to mention we take in critically endangered and extinct in the wild species that can’t survive in the wild anymore. Zoos aren’t just made up of captive descendants.

@teamveganfta @JohnOberg Ah yes, John. The guy who lies about zoos and blocks anyone who catches on to his tricks.

@kuripichu @Centralflzoo @LAZoo Your beloved sanctuaries are lackluster and do nothing for wildlife conservation. Typing in all caps doesn’t make you correct.

@ThatZooKid @Centralflzoo @LAZoo Zoo supporters will say anything to justify confinement. THEY BELONG IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, HOME OR A SANCTUARY BUT NEVER A ZOO ENCLOSURE. They shouldn't have been snatched from the wild to a profit facility to begin with. And now to another. ENOUGH !

Sloth Update – Today’s delivery included vaccines and…poop? Yep. 💩. The veterinary team at @LAZoo , a fellow AZA-accredited organization, sent us a fresh box from their healthy sloths for what’s known as a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT).

I stood outside the Labour Conference in 2024 with this banner. The badger cull is now weeks away from ending for good. Never let anyone tell you that campaigning does not work.

@kuripichu @Centralflzoo @LAZoo Please do more research on the topic of import/exporting animals and the plethora of problems that come with it. These sloths cannot go back to the wild.

@ThatZooKid @Centralflzoo @LAZoo They were donated to the zoo that is attending them now. Once recovered THEY DON'T BELONG IN A ZOO, THEY DESSERVE MUCH BETTER. THEY DESERVE TO LIVE THEIR NATURAL LIFE IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

Sloth Update 🦥 - Today marks the first week in their 30-day quarantine period. This little one had an exciting day yesterday, as he got to try out some new types of produce (zucchini, squash, and cucumber). Turns out- he LOVES it!

Sloth World is filing for bankruptcy, and the remaining sloths have been turned over to the Central Florida Zoo for proper care. One of our Statewide Prosecutors is assisting the Ninth Circuit with the ongoing criminal investigation.

Wildlife Uncovered
Wildlife Uncovered@IamSunnita·
Hot take: zoos get way too much hate. The California condor, Arabian oryx and black-footed ferret exist today ONLY because of zoo breeding programs. Zoos bought time for species that had none left. That deserves more credit. #Zoos #Conservation #WildlifeUncovered

@Centralflzoo @LAZoo Once they are health recovered must be freed in a sanctuary or natural original environment. NO ZOO !

STOP supporting commercial animal entertainment. AZA-accredited zoos & aquariums care about animal health & species longevity. Paying places like Sloth World to get access & a selfie is about YOU, not the care of animals. 🤬
Central Florida Zoo@Centralflzoo

We are saddened today to share the passing of Bandit, the sloth who arrived at the Zoo in the most critical condition. Our efforts now remain on the other sloths in our care, all of whom are currently in stable condition. Latest updates can be found at: bit.ly/4e6EaYv

When you visit the Bronx Zoo, you’re supporting our mission to save wildlife & wild places. Be sure to stop by our World of Birds exhibit where you can see two male keel-billed toucans that were rehabilitated at the zoo after a confiscation by federal authorities last year. (1/4)
