Freedom For Animals

Who we are

Freedom for Animals began as Captive Animals' Protection Society in 1957 and is one of the UK’s longest-running charities working to protect animals. We are a UK-based charity leading the campaign to end the use of animals in entertainment. Through a combination of undercover investigations, research, campaigns, political lobbying and education, Freedom for Animals aims to stop the exploitation of animals in entertainment, particularly in circuses, zoos and the exotic pet trade. Our evidence-based campaigns and strong ethical basis ensure we can make a significant difference to the lives of animals in ending their exploitation. We work to influence policymakers at the highest level whilst supporting grassroots activism which we believe is the very foundation of Freedom for Animals.
