Dear John,

Our much awaited investigation...

Seven years after our original investigation into bird of prey zoos, we went back and did it again.

This time we sent an investigator into three zoos. They worked at each site for a week to get a real look behind the scenes, to see how these places really operate.

You can see our new investigation video by following this link:

Our findings were clear - birds are living in awful conditions with very little chance of flight, and undergoing cruel training practices:

• barren and unsuitable enclosures
• limited access to clean water and shelter
• routine tethering in housing and displays
• coercive training practices
• minimal flight opportunities

Take action for birds

There are many ways that you can join us in the ‘Tether and Torment’ campaign:

🖊️ Sign the pledge to never visit a bird of prey centre or display

🦉 Join the campaign to completely stop ALL tethering of birds of prey 

 ✉️ Order a Tether and Torment Action Pack!

📣 Order leaflets for your event or protest!

🦅 Donate and help this campaign spread its wings

Whichever way you can help these birds it will take them a step closer to freedom and an end to the suffering they experience day after day. Your support is everything to them, thank you!

For the animals,


Laura Walton
Co-Director
