FreeBunka

Our report on @FreeBunka is published today. See the thread below or just visit freebunka.com/news. Thanks to @tina_ppd for her tireless effort on this

@iz_veenie We don't, no, as we are not collecting funding.

@FreeBunka Would you happen to have a Solana wallet address that can receive donations directly for your campaign and efforts on behalf of Bunka? We'd love to explore raising funds and awareness for the cause. Thank you.

Thank you again for helping us just pass 25,000 signatures of petition calling to #freebunka. We are currently attempting to build a network of support in #Armenia. This helps us so much

@iz_veenie Please tell us a bit about yourself and qualifications in elephant sector. Thank you

@FreeBunka thanks for replying,kindly check your emails.

@iz_veenie Hello. Please contact us via website freebunka.com as we are not doing DMs on here. Thank you

@FreeBunka @FreeBunka Please DM me as soon as you can. I may be able to assist your efforts for Bunka in a meaningful way and would prefer to discuss it privately. Thank you for everything you're doing for him. 🐘

And some better news for captive #elephants @pangea_trust theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

@kuripichu @FreeBunka @LaraAAnderson1 @WildlifeSOS @AlexColeFCDO @spyglass46 @hughsmith0001 @LonePilgrim53 @Steveyof3IR3 @Dpositivelady @YahooNews @AngelaD58343894 @YerevanZoo @YerevanZoo2013 @armgov I could not agree with you more. Dissemination of environmental knowledge, Oh! Dear God, what can we do or think of to do next? I'm beginning to think the people who run a zoo, the executives know absolutely nothing about the animals in their so-called Care.

Yes @WildlifeSOS wildlife needs space! Look @FreeBunka lonely, isolated, abandoned. He need help, please. @AlexColeFCDO @spyglass46 @hughsmith0001 @LonePilgrim53 @Steveyof3IR3 @kuripichu @Dpositivelady @YahooNews @AngelaD58343894

@kuripichu @LaraAAnderson1 @claudiamclean22 @WildlifeSOS @AlexColeFCDO @spyglass46 @hughsmith0001 @LonePilgrim53 @Steveyof3IR3 @Dpositivelady @YahooNews @AngelaD58343894 @YerevanZoo @YerevanZoo2013 @armgov We hope so but this cannot be guaranteed. We have a long way to go. We are dealing with a zoo management that has neither the compassion to make changes nor scientific awareness despite all we have thrown at them. But the fight continues...

@LaraAAnderson1 @claudiamclean22 @FreeBunka @WildlifeSOS @AlexColeFCDO @spyglass46 @hughsmith0001 @LonePilgrim53 @Steveyof3IR3 @Dpositivelady @YahooNews @AngelaD58343894 @YerevanZoo @YerevanZoo2013 @armgov He'll be free!

@kuripichu Sadly, non of the SDGs of COP relate to welfare state of captive animals

@FreeBunka I just read this and was wondering if it would be a good chance to highlight Bunka's neglect and need to be sent to a sanctuary. Wildlife in captivity is in a way nature loss As much as I'm concerned about Bunka's wellbeing I don't believe in UN. But still...

Returning from @FreeBunka. Sad to leave him. In summary: No enrichment in enclosure No sand mound to rest on Only saw hay in feeder Dirty water pool No sign of enlargement of enclosure as promised for 10 years. Hard substrate Repeated stereotyping ALONE @YerevanZoo

@kuripichu @YerevanZoo He is not the zoo director. Hearsay says he is now in the USA

@FreeBunka @YerevanZoo So sorry. What a dreadful and experience especially finding the same scenario three years later. Three years of more hell for Bunka and not having been able to meet the man in charge of Bunka. What about Edmond Ghazaryan, the zoo director?

@FreeBunka's life. Inside hammering at his feeder and the door. It's sunny but he comes out for 3-4minutes and Ambleside around and goes back inside to smash at the feeder @YerevanZoo

@FleurFleurshack @Missymaizey89 @YerevanZoo @bornfree @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @AlexColeFCDO @AvinyanTigran This has been done on a number of occasions, but they are impervious to change even after the physical and vetinarary inspection we have arranged. As for Pashinyen, there is a general election today so his status is uncertain

@FreeBunka @Missymaizey89 @YerevanZoo @bornfree @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @AlexColeFCDO @AvinyanTigran I see that the campaign has gained strength but the zoo wont release. We can only keep emailing the PM Nikol Pashinyan. Ask for conditions to be improved for BUNKA and veterinary attendance to heal his poor physical condition Write to the Armenian consulate in your country

Please retweet this. Animal abuse. No other word. I watch @FreeBunka inside this shithole of a barn. He smashes at the door than hammers at his closed hay feeder. I watch him do this route 20 times. @YerevanZoo @bornfree @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @AlexColeFCDO @AvinyanTigran

@claudiamclean22 @kuripichu @LaraAAnderson1 @WildlifeSOS @AlexColeFCDO @spyglass46 @hughsmith0001 @LonePilgrim53 @Steveyof3IR3 @Dpositivelady @YahooNews @AngelaD58343894 @YerevanZoo @YerevanZoo2013 @armgov This is @Yerevanzoo in Armenia

@kuripichu @LaraAAnderson1 @WildlifeSOS @FreeBunka @AlexColeFCDO @spyglass46 @hughsmith0001 @LonePilgrim53 @Steveyof3IR3 @Dpositivelady @YahooNews @AngelaD58343894 @YerevanZoo @YerevanZoo2013 @armgov I am so glad to be with you. I would be even more glad if I could free that poor animal. So stop wild animals believe in the wild, separating them from their family groups and taking away their freedom is called torture. We must make the public see how wrong every zoo is.

@CartoonessToo @YerevanZoo @bornfree @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @AlexColeFCDO @AvinyanTigran I would not advocate boycotting Armenia because I don't believe younger generation, as we say, should be punished for the crimes of their fathers. The zoo should be condemned though for its inhumane treatment of Bunka

@FreeBunka @YerevanZoo @bornfree @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @AlexColeFCDO @AvinyanTigran No one knows where this is. How can we boycott this country and it’s leaders ?

@redcat_Ann @YerevanZoo We will be updating news on freebunka.com

#FreeBunka🐘💜 from @YerevanZoo in #Armenia‼️ #Bunka is living in a small, filthy concrete barn and a tiny concrete slab outside💔 NOWHERE to go, NOTHING to do, alone and #suffering NO #veterinary exam/treatment - the #veterinarian is afraid of #Bunka⁉️ change.org/p/help-free-bu…

@janischshane Don't worry Shane. We appreciate your support greatly

@FreeBunka Sorry my details were a bit out 🙏🐘💔

Bunka the elephant is DYING from cruelty at Yerevan Zoo (Armenia). 7+ years alone in a concrete barn, 17 hours/day. Foot abscesses, inflamed eyes, depression (walking in circles). This violates international zoo guidelines! HELP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. 🐘💔

@RVSarkis @janischshane Rafi we need Armenian supporters for ongoing campaign. Visit our site at freebunka.com

@janischshane As an Armenian I am utterly disgusted and embarrassed by this. Civilized nations should not tolerate animal cruelty. For any Armenian seeing this post, please write to them and let them know this should be unacceptable.

@Petra599146 @janischshane There is no animal welfare organisations in Armenia bar a charity that cares for street dogs

@janischshane Und der dortige Tierschutz unternimmt nichts ?

@Asw2belle @YerevanZoo @PeterEgan6 @MarkofDartmoor It is ine thing to say we will not give up Bunka. But another thing to treat him with cruelty and ignorance. They are animal abusers

@FreeBunka @YerevanZoo Thank u for at least validating NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR BUNKA.😡 No action was ever taken to aid bunka in his NEGLECTED way of life. NOT EVEN CLEAN WATER,FOOD,ENRICHMENT & STILL DARK & DIRTY BARN @YerevanZoo @PeterEgan6 @MarkofDartmoor
