"Marius's Story"
The second installment to our online video campaign "My Story". We'll be adding more videos to our campaign very shortly so stay tuned! We hope you enjoy.
WHAT WAS OUR INSPIRATION FOR THIS VIDEO? Our blog post (click here) details our inspiration for this campaign.
Watch, Share & Enjoy!
**WARNING** This video contains graphic content that some viewers may find distressing.
Today, we posted the second instalment of our “My Story” video campaign, named “Marius’s Story”.
The inspiration behind this video was following the huge controversy and mass publicity of Marius, a healthy 2 year old giraffe, who was killed by Copenhagen Zoo because he was deemed unsuitable for breeding. Although many other zoo’s offered to home Marius, Copenhagen Zoo declined these offers and instead, resorted to killing Marius and dissecting his body in front of a young, LIVE audience. Copenhagen Zoo claimed this dissection was purely “educational” but this was carried out in front of very young children who should not be exposed to this at such a young age.
Although many people petitioned against the killing, Copenhagen Zoo did not listen. Subsequently, this has caused public outrage and given rise to several issues across many animal rights campaign groups. Many animal rights groups have held protests, boycotts in addition to expressing disgust for Zoo’s who hold animals in captivity to begin with.
For this video, we used the story of Marius’s life and told this from his personal perspective. Due to this intimate and direct effect, we believed that this approach may enable viewers to consider how Marius, and other animals, personally feel and experience living in small enclosures and being subjected to death.
As stated throughout our campaign, the message for this video is that:
We believe animals should not be subjected to imprisonment or death. Animals should live naturally and happily in the wild. Please don’t let them suffer any longer. Let them live in the Wild, where they belong.
What happened to Marius was absurdly disgusting and unacceptable. Why should Zoo’s have the right to murder innocent and perfectly healthy animals? Marius was only 2 years old.
We are hoping to make more videos using this format so please keep watching our videos and supporting our campaign to help us Stop Zoo Cruelty. (#StopZooCruelty)

"Amid ongoing controversy over its killer whale shows, SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. reported a 13% drop in attendance for the first three months of the year." - LA Times
Recently, The LA Times reported that Sea World attendance figures have decreased by 13%. Although Sea World claim that the film 'Black Fish', exposing and informing viewers about Sea World's animal practices, has not influenced this decrease, this film is clearly making an impact.
These figures highlight that attendance figures at Sea World have decreased. Whilst Sea World claim that this is due to higher admission fees and an increase in in-park spending, these cannot be the only reasons.
By continuing to inform people and expose them to Sea World's practices, we can make a change for the better. This article is evidence that slowly, attendance numbers at Sea World are gradually decreasing.
Animals do not deserve to be held hostages. Animals should not be a source of entertainment. Animals deserve to live in the wild and should not be locked in cages. Animals should not be pressured and forced to perform for companies, like Sea World, to generate greater profit.
We need to make a change. Everyone needs to stop paying for admission. Everyone needs to stop visiting animal parks, like Sea World. Everyone needs to understand that these cruel practices do happen at Sea World. Everyone needs to understand that these animals, wish to live happily in the ocean.
This change needs to start today.
Please support our campaign and join the movement to Stop Zoo Cruelty.
Two days ago, we were shocked to read that SeaWorld have been hitting the headlines again, this time for apparently drugging their orca whales at its theme park in Orlanda. The allegation has come from the parks rival Marineland who are currently in a court case with the company. They have told the courts that the orcas have been given benzodiazepine, a drug containing Valium and Xanax. These drugs have been used by SeaWorld to 'control aggression and anxiety.' After taking for an extended period of time (up to 2 to 4 weeks,) benzodiazepines have been proved to cause adverse side affects such as panic attacks and muscle spazms.
SeaWorld has defended their actions of using the drug on its animals. How can a company defend using such a product on their animals? Surely by giving them this medication they must acknowledge that the animals they make perform tricks for their profit are clearly unhappy. In supporting our campaign, you can help us prevent animals being subjected to a life behind bars filled with medicine, anger and psychological pain. Help us stop zoo cruelty today.
Tilikum's story: our inspiration
Earlier this week we posted our second video campaign called 'Tilikum's story' and if you haven't seen it yet there's a link attached at the conclusion of this message. The inspiration behind this video was the mass publicity of SeaWorld following the release of 'Blackfish' which told the story of the orca whale they Tilikum who in his life in captivity has been responsible for the deaths of three people. This has raised an issue across many animal rights campaign groups, with groups protesting against the park, telling people to boycott it as well as expressing a disgust for the parks choice to bring in animals such as Tilikum who were taken from the wild and made to perform. What this video did was to use the story of Tilikum's life and tell it from his perspective, an element that added a much more intimate feel to the message the video was providing, this message being that Tilikum and other orcas like him should not be subjected to a life in conditions comparable to a bathtub. We are hoping to make more videos using this format so please keep watching our videos and supporting our campaign to help us stop zoo cruelty. C&C http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGEtkAv4Hcw

Told from the first hand perspective of Tilikum, you can see the profound impact that capturing and caging animals from their natural habitat has had on him ...

We are truly saddened and outraged to hear the news that Copenhagen Zoo have killed 2 healthy Lions and 2 healthy cubs. After the tragic death of Marius the Giraffe, it is unbelievable and a disgrace that Copenhagen Zoo have killed even more innocent and perfectly healthy animals. Why should Zoos have the right to kill innocent animals?! We believe that animals should live happily and freely in their natural environment. Animals should NOT be kept as prisoners in Zoos.

HE SPENT most of his life in a cramped, dirty cage, locked away from the world, but Simba the lion finally has his pride back.
This article shows the fantastic work that your support can do for animals suffering in captivity. This article released yesterday shows how support from members of the public helped to save the life of Simba, a circus lion who spent his life in a "squalid circus lorry trailer" with an exercise space comparable to "the size of a postage stamp" to start a new life in the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre in Malawi thanks to donations to the Born Free foundation.
This story demonstrates the power of the public and how we all together can help animals living in terrible conditions in captivity. But this one example of success should not and will not stop us campaigning for those animals who continually suffer a life behind bars. Follow our campaign today and help us #StopZooCruelty and your support could see more animals being rescued from a miserable life behind bars.

The 25-year-old polar bear died after eating the bag and jacket, which had been dropped in his enclosure, in the Wilhelma Zoo in Stuttgart. Anton had been sick for several days before staff saw him coughing up pieces of fabric.
Just 16 days ago, zoos were under yet more criticism following the death of Anton the polar bear who died after ingesting a coat that a visitor to the zoo dropped into his enclosure in the Wilhelma Zoo in Stuttgart, Germany. This is not the first instance of animals eating foreign objects in Wilhelma, a hippopotamus came to the same fate at the zoo after eating a tennis ball and an elephant seal also died after eating a teddy bear.
Staff at the zoo suggest that the dropping of foreign objects in the enclosures was a "serious problem" with reports suggesting that in the last 20 years they have had to retrieve "200 children's shoes, 50 babies' dummies, countless hats, cameras and phones, as well as several pairs of glasses"
If humans were unable to be so close to these animals and be so blasé towards how they respect their unnatural environments then three deaths (and ultimately many more) could have been prevent. No animal deserves to die in pain. No animal deserves to be a tourist attraction and killed by those who treat them like one. Please join our campaign today and help us #StopZooCruelty

"Up to 5,000 healthy zoo animals, including hundreds of larger ones such as giraffes, lions and bears are killed by zoos in Europe every year, it is claimed today."
Today, a recently published article by The Independent has discovered that over 5,000 animals, including Lions, Giraffes, Zebras and Bears are killed every year in Zoo's across Europe.
These shocking figures highlight the reality of the Zoo industry. Why should animals be subjected to death? Zoo's claim that they are contributing to the conservation of animals but instead, their innocent lives are taken once they are no longer deemed "profitable", "cute" or "friendly".
Under no circumstances should animals be subjected to death or a life behind bars. So why contribute to the further imprisonment of animals by paying to visit Zoo's around the world?
