All the animals you’ve helped in 2025
News
See how World Animal Protection supporters helped farm animals and wildlife in 2025.
This year you’ve worked tirelessly to end the cruelty experienced by wild animals in fashion, entertainment and global wildlife trade, as well as improved the lives of farmed animals. Thank you!
Here’s a snapshot of some of the wonderful work you’ve helped make possible this year:
- Over 4,000 of you wrote to Webjet to voice your concerns about the company offering low-welfare animal activities like elephant rides, orca shows and tiger selfies on their website, and they listened.
- Before the Federal election, over 2,000 of you called on your local Member of Parliament to prioritise animal welfare and we met with 17 MPs, Senators, Ministers, and Departmental officials to lobby on your behalf for better laws to protect Aussie animals.
Webjet supports a more wildlife-friendly future
Thanks to your support, Webjet communicated their plans to develop an animal welfare policy in collaboration with us.
Better laws for Aussie animals
Your efforts kept this issue on the radar for all parties and members of parliament.
- You investigated captive koala venues in Queensland and exposed a decline in cruel koala cuddles as 4 tourism venues have stopped these interactions.
- You helped us conduct interviews with more than 1550 households across 12 communities bordering Kruger National Park in South Africa. We found most community members living near the Park support humane, wildlife-friendly conservation for lions as opposed to trophy hunting.
- You celebrated Australian Fashion Week implementing a wildlife-friendly policy.
Still Too Close for Comfort
Together, we’re shining a light on the dramatic decline in koala cuddles and exposing the Queensland wildlife tourism venues that are still choosing profit over animal welfare.
AFW is now wildlife-free
Thanks to your support, Australian Fashion Week (AFW) banned all wildlife materials including fur, wild animal skins and feathers.
- With our partner, JAAN, you continued to provide care and rehabilitation to the 31 dancing monkeys you helped rescue in 2024.
- You helped rescue and care for baby bears like Luci and Serafim orphaned by the reintroduction of bear hunting in Romania.
- You helped transformed a former camp in Thailand into an elephant-friendly venue where elephants like Roy Ngern and Gumrai formerly abused for entertainment and just be themselves.
You surprised monkeys with delicious enrichments
You gave 31 rescued dancing monkeys honey-filled banana leaves and honey logs. Take a look as they devour their special enrichments thanks to you!
Elephants enjoying enrichments YOU helped provide
The elephants of Elephant Forest in Thailand are loving their special new treats, as our team in Thailand celebrates the sanctuary’s exciting new chapter!
We’ve achieved so much because of you, and we can’t thank you enough!
With your incredible support, we were able help millions of vulnerable animals around the world because you.
On behalf of the animals, thank you. Together, we’re creating a world for animals without cruelty.
Will you protect animals?
Every animal deserves a life worth living – from captive lions used for trophy hunting to mother pigs in cages in factory farms.
