The Issue

The animals at the JHB ZOO need YOUR HELP! 

We went, we saw, we are in shock!

The animals at the JHB Zoo are living in shocking conditions. We recently visited the zoo and according to our own observation saw that: The lions look extremely underweight, bones are visible, and the enclosures look tiny. The Hippo could barely move in his tiny enclosure and we observed minimal water, we could not see that he could immerse himself in water and swim. The elephants look extremely depressed and we could not observe any form of stimulation. The Giraffes were observed eating sticks.

No water in some enclosures, and tiny troughs in others just to name a few of the issues we saw!

They deserve the 5 FREEDOMS of Animal Welfare!

• Freedom from hunger and thirst.
• Freedom from pain, injury and disease.
• Freedom from distress.
• Freedom from discomfort.
• Freedom to express behaviours that promote well-being.

Help us help them! If we don't help them, they will continue to suffer and fade from existence! 

Let them go to sanctuaries that will provide a better life for them to live out. 

We need your help!
