FOUR PAWS International

FOUR PAWS travelled to Slovenia to see bear Tim—but we were denied entry by the zoo owner. Only our vet could see him from afar. Minimum legal standards are not enough. Tim deserves better. We will not give up on him. 🐻💔 #FreeBearTim

Sometimes in life a little gratitude goes a long way. 🐅💛 Today, we want to say thank you to YOU 🫵 for your continued support. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to rescue and care for animals in need. Thank you for sticking with us - it truly means the world. 🐾

We continue to support @AnimalsLebanon in providing help to the many displaced families. Losing their homes meant leaving everything behind... but their beloved pet. Living in tents or cars, they now need our support more than ever. Donate on our website.

Is your country moving beyond #cages for laying hens? 🐔🌎 The transition is possible. But where a #hen is born should not decide whether she spends her life in a cage. 📢@EU_Commission must keep its promise to #EndTheCageAge and phase out cages for laying hens across the EU!

It should be a done deal that the European Union's biggest farming policy supports better #AnimalWelfare. After all, it directly affects the billions of animals farmed in the EU each year. But animal welfare is not prioritised in its current measures. Let's change that 👇

🚨 Once again, industry's interests are prioritised over those of animals. EU Member States are considering loosening wildlife protection rules to make it easier to build industrial projects, even if that means killing protected species. Full article by @POLITICOeurope: politico.eu/article/eu-cou…

She's seeing a shadow that looks like a hole. A flash of light that blinds her. A world built for human eyes, not hers. New AR technology is letting farmers see their facilities through cattle's eyes, and it's already changing how they're designed. Welfare starts with understanding.

While the ulcerated skin and injured body of this dog are already difficult to witness, the real heartbreak lies in the look in his eyes. The suffering this animal has endured is beyond words. This is the true face of the cruel dog and cat meat trade. 🐈🍖🐕

Live animal transport is cruel. Calves are taken from their mothers, crammed into trucks in extreme heat or cold, fattened, then shipped again to North Africa or the Middle East. Many die on overcrowded vessels💔. @EUCouncil and @Europarl_EN please end this!

It’s a powerful look at why the current system is failing our wildlife. Knowledge is power. Watch the film and join us in demanding a future where lions and tigers are no longer treated as commodities. 📺 Watch on Curiosity Stream now: curiositystream.com/title/video/12… #DethronedFilm

Did you know that around 8000 lions and estimated 600 tigers live in captivity across South Africa? 📉 The award-winning film DETHRONED exposes the global industry behind cub-petting, "walk-with" attractions, and the commercial breeding of our apex predators.

A tourist in Vietnam reached out to us with a shocking dog meat case. He witnessed a catcher who had a dog shaking in fear trapped in a cage tied to his motorbike. The tourist talked to some of the locals and found out that the dog was destined for the slaughterhouse. 🐕🐈🍖🚫

Update: Bear Lili 🐻💚 Rescued in Vietnam in 2019 with Lulu & Lac, Lili arrived terrified but quickly formed a strong bond. Today she’s thriving; still close to Lac (even stepping in to protect him), growing friendships, loving enrichment & splashing in the pool. 💦

From circus life to peace 🐯 After years of performing and 1.5 more in a cramped trailer, Samba finally found freedom in Jan 2025. Now at FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary, she explores, relaxes, and enjoys life as a tigress should. 🧡

A bird hit your window? 🐦🆘 Place it in a small dark box with air holes — no food or water. If it can’t fly after a few hours, contact a wildlife rescue centre. 💚 Prevention saves lives: visible markings on glass help birds avoid collisions.

Calves are by-products of the dairy industry 🐄🍼. They are often taken away from their mothers to be sold and transported. Many die en route. At ports they are not treated like living beings. Tag @Europarl_EN to end this NOW. 📸: © Jo-Anne McArthur, Stefano Belacchi

Leopard Bakari was once a photo prop, another victim of wildlife exploitation. The “perfect shot” isn’t worth a life in captivity. 💔 This #InternationalLeopardDay, we celebrate his journey to @LIONSROCK and say: wild animals are #NotPhotoProps. 🐾

Teddy is settling into her new home, BEAR SANCTUARY Müritz, at her own pace. 🐻 We’ve also been reflecting on this exciting day. Take a look behind the scenes of her rescue and celebrate Teddy’s fresh start with us – because it’s never too late for a new beginning ❤️
