Kenya’s gone from polite wanderer to bold explorer. 🌿 She’s knocking down more trees, finding snacks on her own, and diving into her natural instincts. She’s visiting the barn less often, showing more independence and confidence each day. Read more: globalelephants.org/kenya-brings-a…

An African Forest #Elephant was born at Asa Zoological Park, Hiroshima, Japan. Photo of parents Mei (left) and Dai in the sterile zoo environment that is nothing like their natural habitat. They are forest elephants without a forest. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ne…

The #UMass marmoset lab is closed, but every remaining #monkey was killed so their brains could be studied. This is both a hard-fought victory & a heartbreaking loss.#EndAnimalTesting #VivisectionIsTorture bit.ly/47svJTN
