The European network to END the keeping of wild animals in CAPtivity

The Network

 

ENDCAP is a network of established European animal welfare organisations and wildlife professionals who share a common goal in wanting to see an end to the keeping and exploitation of wild animals in captivity for human entertainment.

 

Our Mission

ENDCAP is an international network of European organisations dedicated to the protection and conservation of wildlife in the wild and opposed to the exploitation of wild animals in captivity. Through scientific research, education, campaigning and sharing of expertise and information, the Network seeks to; expose neglect, suffering and cruelty endured by wild animals in zoological collections, circuses and dolphinaria; investigate the plight of wild animals held by private individuals and related trade issues; and, where possible, alleviate animal suffering. Focusing predominantly on the issues relating to zoos and circuses as well as the implementation and enforcement of national legislation stemming from Directive 1999/22/EC (relating to the keeping of wild animals in zoos), the Network aims to influence and encourage a change in priorities away from captivity, through a non-breeding and non-replacement policy, towards the protection of wild animals in their natural habitat.

*** DESPERATE NEWS:
WE HAVE A CHANCE TO MOVE OUR TWO LAST LIONS ***

 

 
Romany and Gypsy, five-year-old male and female disabled lions, have
lived in the confines of Buhusi Zoo for most of their lives. We have
been offered the chance to move them to a sanctuary in Holland.

They must be moved before December 31 or they will be euthanized.
Euthanization in Romania is brutal.
 
In the last month and half with increased medicine, more care, and
better food, we have watched these two loving creatures improve.

They are not without some pain, but they are vastly capable of living a
good life. They are, we feel, a symbol of love and kindness. We would
like to see them have a better chance. And we want to let children
know that they are worth saving. Having a disability is not a cause of
hiding them or killing them.
 
We need to raise 6000 euro for their medical care and transport.
donations can be made through out website www.thelionsroar. eu (a
European link will soon be posted to allow donations in euros)

THE INCREASINGLY SAD STORY OF TWO REMAINING DINGOES
 
A male and female dingo living together in one cage will be moved to
Ploisti Zoo in Romania on Dec. 15th. We NEED to find homes for the two
remaing dingoes. One female lives in the adjoining cage and another
female, who was badly wounded (and now recovered),lives in another
awful concrete cage on the other side of the nearly empty zoo. They
need seperate enclosures.

 

We want to raise $2000 US (in addition to what we have raised) to
encourage a zoo to take them with our building them proper enclosures.
they too must be moved by December 31 or face a horrible death.

CHRISTIAN THE LION

If you enjoyed the first video, you will love this. It contains more

scenes of Christian and his rescuers. It also shows his pride and

has pic’s of Christian fully matured, with a full mane. Beautiful! Enjoy!

In the next video, Christian’s rescuers talk about Christian and their reunion. How Christian’s two wives were jealous of them, didn’t really like them and how Christian protected his friends.

BTW: some people have asked me if Christian was still alive. Sadly, no, he passed a number of years ago. Lions live 12 to 15 years.
