This rescued anteater enjoys digging for ants as enrichment during his rehabilitation. World Animal Protection supports the Instituto Tamandua's “Orphans of the Fires Project” (Projeto Órfãos do fogo) in Brazil, where anteaters are rescued, rehabilitated, and ultimately returned to the wild.

Did you know that the federal government has a wildlife-killing program? Well, in 2025, it got even deadlier. According to new USDA data, Wildlife Services killed over 2 million animals. Learn more about this brutal program and why the death toll increased:

worldanimalprotection.usWildlife Services Killed 2.8 Million Animals in 2025—and Dairy Is a Big Reason WhyNew USDA data shows the federal government's wildlife-killing program got nearly 50 percent deadlier in a single year. Much of the increase traces straight back to the dairy industry.

On October 24, nearly 40 supporters gathered to raise awareness for Joyce the elephant, just a mile from where she is held captive at Six Flags Wild Safari. Our message to Six Flags is clear: We won’t stop until Joyce and the other elephants are sent to a sanctuary. 🐘 Get Involved: FreeJoyce.org

Elephants at our partner sanctuary, Elephant Forest Phitsanulok, enjoy life free from chains, rides, and tourist exploitation. What was once a traditional elephant camp with riding, feeding, and bathing has been fully transformed into a venue where elephants can live and roam peacefully.

Several retailers have banned ostrich feathers, but too many brands continue to sell suffering. Help protect ostriches by telling Nordstrom to adopt a wildlife-friendly policy and stop selling feathers.

For decades, Joyce has lived in captivity. Since 2010, she’s been kept at Six Flags Wild Safari in New Jersey, in an enclosure alarmingly close to the park’s roller coasters and heavy vehicle routes. A theme park is no place for an elephant. Visit FreeJoyce.org to take action for Joyce.

Joyce's enclosure is about 1 acre, which is roughly 700,000 times smaller than an African Elephant would have in the wild. There is little enrichment and no shade structures—an unsuitable environment for any elephant. But alternatives exist.

When people learn that World Animal Protection is calling on Six Flags to release Joyce, one question comes up almost immediately: if not Six Flags, then where? Explore what accredited elephant sanctuaries provide—and why Joyce deserves a chance for a better life.
