Our initial investigation into the zoo took place in 2017, after a ..read more

6d ago
22nd March 2024 Every year Freedom for Animals holds a weekend of action to highlight the suffering that thousands of animals face in captivity in UK zoos, aquariums, and mobile zoos.  Animals suffer terribly for human entertainment. They are kept in small cages, bred and sold as commodities, separated from their families, and killed when there are too many. But when we come together and spread awareness of this misery, we can bring it to an end. This year’s Zoo Awareness Weekend falls on March 29th-1st April and, with your help, we can spread the truth and shine a light on the miserable ..read more

Victory! New Zoo Planning Denied by Broxtowe Council

13th March 2024 It has been a long road to get to this point, but the team at Freedom for Animals are ecstatic to report that there will be no new zoo in Trowell, Nottinghamshire! At 19:40 this evening the Broxtowe Borough Council Planning Committee returned a decision that planning permission would not be granted for the so-called ‘Broxtowe Retreat’. Frequently marketed as a ‘sanctuary’, it doesn’t take much research to discover that this planned development was, in fact, a zoo. This is evidenced by the fact that the developers planned to acquire animals that had been bred for displ ..read more

JOIN US TODAY Imagine spending your whole life in a basement. Imagine never seeing daylight or feeling the sun on your face. Imagine if none of your surroundings were real! This is the reality for so many penguins in captivity. Right now, 15 penguins live underground in Sea Life London Aquarium. They have a painted mirage on the wall, fake snow and fake rocks, a tiny pool and no way of ever making it back to the wild. They are not the only penguins to live like this either. Across the UK there are many penguins living underground and in captivity, so far from their natural homes. But together ..read more

Sea Life Penguins on the Move!

22nd February 2024 Last week the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, a part of the Sea Life Trust, announced that the colony of Humboldt Penguins previously kept in their facility in Gweek, Cornwall, is “settling happily into their new home” at Five Sisters Zoo in Scotland. Social media posts on the move credit it with allowing them to enjoy a cooler climate, and integrate with a larger group of penguins. Whilst we at Freedom for Animals agree that these animals need those improvements, this move raises questions that the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, Sea Life, and its parent organisation, Merlin Entertainments ..read more

15th February 2024 In a windowless basement beneath London, Sea Life imprisons 15 Gentoo penguins. They will spend their entire lives in captivity if we don’t free them. Freedom for Animals is taking up the fight to free a colony of gentoo penguins from a basement underneath London. With no daylight or fresh air, and a pitifully small enclosure, these penguins spend every day deprived of the opportunity to enjoy their natural behaviours. Native to the Antarctic Circle and surrounding regions of the Southern Hemisphere, London Sea Life Aquarium’s penguins are forced to endure an unnatural envir ..read more
