That is where the charities are able to make differences. Apart from rescues, forcing despicable zoos to close down, managing to get bans on wild animal travelling circuses ,world wide, they are also constantly trying to get change with the mind-set of governments in different countries.
They work very hard and each animal rescued afterwards has to be fed, vets, medication, etc. for life. Even the flights passports and legal paperwork costs thousands for each animal.
33 lions rescued from Peru and Colombia and returned to Africa a little over 18 months ago have so far cost over £500,000 in that short time .
I'm not saying anyone should give to any charity, just pointing out that animal rescue and care is going on all the time (daily) and it is not cheap, and even in this country our animals need the help !
Just out of interest, as an example of where charity money is spent, this is 4 Paws rescue of the animals in Aleppo Zoo, just about 18 months ago. Worth a read.
