Dear John,

An elderly polar bear named Victoria, who lives in Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland, has never known freedom.

She is 29 years old and has already lived in three different zoos, moved each time for breeding. She has given birth to four cubs...all innocent individuals born into a life of captivity like their mother. Tragically, one of these babies died.

In the wild, polar bears are inherently solitary animals, who roam thousands of miles each year and well over 20 miles each day.  Comparing this to a life in captivity is almost impossible. The enclosure Victoria shares with 3 others covers just 0.009 square miles. 

Victoria will never live in the wild, but you can help her and others like her - join us as a Freedom Champion and fight for an end to captivity!

Con in conservation

This week is International Polar Bear Day and we are using it to shine a light on the suffering these great bears endure in captivity!

Zoos claim to keep polar bears in captivity for conservation of the species, however it is a fact that a zoo bred polar bear has not once been returned to the wild!

We urgently need you to stand alongside us in the fight for the freedom of ALL animals. So please, will you join us as a Freedom Champion today?

Together we can end captivity

By joining as one of our special, dedicated Freedom Champions who make a monthly donation, you will play a crucial part in investigating the reality of life for captive animals and driving high impact campaigns to educate more people that zoos are here for profit, not conservation.

Animals are not ours to force into unnatural lives of stress and captivity. You can help end this cruelty! Join us today and help fight for the freedom of ALL animals.

Yours for the animals,


Andrew Kelly
