As an annual passholder with Yorkshire Wildlife Park, I can't imagine our beloved animals being put in such danger, either directly or because of lost revenue or missing keepers. I was worried sick about ours during Covid restrictions.

The Animals need to be fed and cared for. They have no choice other than to stay in the zoo. God bless them and the familys who are caring enough to love and help them. I will pray for them all that God will protect them during this terrible time .

It’s utterly horrendous for the people of Ukraine but they have a choice to leave. These animals are utterly innocent & helpless in what we humans do to them & with them. All animals deserve in captivity and out deserve our protection & a better duty of care worldwide.

Because it is atrocious what is happening over there and unfortunately the animals will be the last on the list

Thank you for helping the zoo animals in Ukraine. This donation comes from The Scarf Seller, from sales over my Birthday weekend (12th March) when we donated 10% of the sale price of every item sold.

Animals in zoos are utterly at the mercy of people. We cannot ignore them.

Joanne

My heart is breaking for all the people & animals suffering so this is how I can help.

Because anyway maps and those who care for them are more than helpless as they can’t escape, evade, or help themselves

People understand what war is but animals don’t. They’ll be so afraid. Thanks for helping them.

I have worried about zoos, other animal shelters and the people that are running them since the start of the conflict. I have already donated some money to PETA.
