Dear John,

There are only 5 days left to make your donation count for animals trapped in zoos.

For decades, Kate the elephant has lived a life of endless confinement. Taken from her wild family in 1969, she has spent over 50 years in a tiny cage, pacing the same space day after day, with no freedom, no choice, and no escape.

And tragically, Kate is not alone. Thousands of animals suffer the same hidden cruelty every day.

This week, you can help us expose it.

Thanks to The Big Give Christmas Challenge, every £1 you donate could become £2—but only if you act before midday on 9th December.

DOUBLE YOUR GIFT TODAY

Our research, gathered from over 200 UK zoos, reveals a truth the industry works hard to hide:

• Fewer than 18% of species in zoos are threatened in the wild

• Over 190,000 animals died in a single year

• Including 24,000 from threatened species

• More animals died than were born last year

These are not conservation successes. They are lives lost to an industry built on exploitation.

This Christmas, your donation can expose this cruelty and help protect animals from a life of misery.

HELP EXPOSE CAPTIVITY

We’ve already had an amazing response to the matched funding challenge - but we still have far to go. With just 5 days remaining, can you help unlock 100% of the funds.

Thank you for standing with them and with us.

For the animals,

Laura Tomlinson
Co-Director
Freedom for Animals

P.S. Please don’t miss this rare opportunity to have your Christmas gift DOUBLED. Every pound you give before midday 9th December will help expose the cruelty hidden behind zoo walls.
