Beyond the Viral Video: The Tragedy of Baby #Punch 🧵 You’ve likely seen the “cute” story of baby Punch, the macaque clinging to a plush toy for comfort. While the images are heart-wrenching, there's a hidden tragedy behind the viral fame that we need to talk about. 1/6 #Panchi

Would you still take that "cute" cub selfie if you knew they were taken from their mothers when they’re ONLY DAYS OLD? 🦁💔⁠ ⁠ In the wild, they stay bonded for years. 💔⁠ ⁠ Lions are trapped in a cycle of exploitation: 🔁⁠ 🐾 Cub petting 🦁 Trophy hunting⁠ 🦴 Bone trade⁠ #BreakTheViciousCycle

Kroshyk and Foxy were brought in by their devoted owner, both desperately ill—one with severe eczema, the other a deadly tick-borne parasite. Thanks to our partner clinic UVMF in #Ukraine, both #dogs are on the road to recovery! This is what life-saving #veterinary help looks like.

#DidYouKnow almost every captive white tiger today descends from just ONE male tiger from the 1950s? 🐯 White tigers aren’t a subspecies. They are the result of intensive inbreeding for human entertainment. Rescued tigress Charlota is beautiful, but she pays the price every day with health issues. 💔

A miracle for Samba! 🐯✨ Last year, we were told our 14-year-old tigress had stomach tumour. We prepared for the worst. But after months of no symptoms and a second round of tests... the results are NEGATIVE! Samba is cancer-free and starting a whole new chapter. 🧡 #animalsanctuary

More than a dog; Hilza is a sister-in-arms. 🐾 Adopted by Ukrainian soldiers, she was recently injured in a missile strike. We treated her shrapnel wounds, and this brave fighter is finally back with her unit! 🐕💪 Huge thanks to our partner UVMF for the lifesaving care. ✨ #DogRescue #Ukraine

STOP 🛑 Before you share that animal abuse video… read this. You see a heartbreaking video of an animal. Your first instinct is to share it, tag every animal welfare charity you know to demand justice. 😿 But here is the hard truth: Sharing that post helps the abuser more than the animal. 😿 🧵 (1/4)

🚨 BREAKING: Punjab bans private “pet” lions after two more big cat attacks on children in Lahore, #Pakistan. 🦁🚫 Crackdown has begun: 59 big cats seized, 8 arrested, approvals revoked. #WildAnimalsAreNotPets. Let this be the turning point. Let's #BreakTheViciousCycle.

40°C. For us, a #heatwave. For her, a metal oven. 🚛🔥 Right now, sheep are trapped in metal trucks on scorching roads. Australian law allows them to go 48 hours without water. This is legal cruelty. We demand for: 🚫 No transport >25°C ⏳ 8-hr journey limit #AnimalsNotCargo

Safe at last! 🦁✨ After wildfires hit Overberg in South Africa, we opened our gates to five #lions from Panthera Africa Big Cat #Sanctuary. Chaka, Neptune, Oliver, Karlos, and Ivana are now recovering at LIONSROCK while their home is rebuilt. True partnership in action. ❤️🐾 #BigCatRescue

Happy news! Flora has taken her first brave steps into her new forest #sanctuary. From cautious sniffs to joyful rolls in her favourite scents (fish, lentils, perfume), she’s slowly discovering how a bear should truly live. 🐻✨ Rescued from Albania last year, every day, her confidence grows. 🌿

Did you know our LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary is also home to Burchell’s Zebras? 🦓👀 Named after explorer William Burchell, these social grazers have smaller ears than mountain #zebras and are famous for their "shadow stripes"—faint markings unique to this subspecies.

"Did we make it?" - Yes, we did transform Tajmir's life! 🐅 #Tiger Tajmir was rescued last year from his dusty concrete cage in Northern Czechia to our FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary. Tajmir is now enjoying the life he truly deserved. ✨ #AMA about tigers and our #sanctuary.

SPLASH TIME! 💦☀️ When the sun blazes, our rescued bears and big cats know exactly how to cool off! 🐻🐯 Each of our rescued #animals have access to a swimming pool or pond, and nothing makes us happier than seeing them this happy and carefree. 💛

🐔 The heartbreaking journey of a meat chicken in Australia 💔 From birth to slaughter in just 30 days. Meat chickens in Australia are bred to grow at unnatural speeds and their final days are brutal. 🚚 Transported for 24 hours with no water. ⚡ Many arrive with broken wings or die on the way.

🐾 Huge win for greyhounds 🎉💚 Tasmania will end greyhound racing by 2029, phasing out taxpayer funding. This comes days after Raider’s Guide was euthanised after a race injury. ACT banned it in 2018. Now it’s time for all states to stop funding cruelty. #GreyhoundRacingKills

When you realize it’s Monday… again. 🐻😩 Bear Andri is clearly exhausted today after a weekend of playing and foraging for food. Rescued from a small wooden box in a basement, this lucky bear is now safe, loved, and living the slow life at our BEAR SANCTUARY Prishtina. 🌱

This is an excellent 🧪 paper reviewing linkages between planetary change, pathogens & pandemics. In Australia, we've witnessed movement of vector-carriers e.g. brown dog ticks moving from warmer northern AUS to the south & increased detection of e.g. ehrlichiosis, babesiosis & anaplasmosis.

Cruel in 2002. Still cruel in 2025. We’ve moved forward in many ways, so why are minks still trapped in cages for fashion? Fur farming hasn't evolved. 💔 The pain is the same. 🐾 The cages are the same. ☠️ The killing is the same. Sign our petition: fpau.org/ban-fur #WearitKind #EthicalFashion

🧵1/ 🦁💔 #NEWS: The lion attack at Darling Downs Zoo is another preventable tragedy. A woman is seriously injured. A lioness’s fate is uncertain. The tragedy at Darling Downs Zoo wasn’t a freak accident. It was a predictable outcome of breeding big cats for entertainment.
