🦅 Birds of Prey Shows – This Is Not Freedom!

What looks spectacular to visitors often means considerable stress and suffering for the birds:

🍗 Hunger as a training tool: The animals are kept extremely hungry so they reliably return to the falconer. Over an entire season, this means constant hunger.

🧠 Imprinting on humans: Many animals are hand-raised and imprinted on humans. This can lead to problematic or aggressive behavior towards people later on.

🌞 Owls against their natural clock: Nocturnal owls like barn owls have to fly during daylight hours for shows – even though they are particularly vulnerable in the wild at this time.

🔗 Extreme restriction of freedom of movement: Outside of the short flight demonstration, the animals are often tethered. A few minutes of flying from hand to hand cannot even begin to satisfy their natural urge to move.

🙈 Falcon hoods mean sensory deprivation: The animals are deprived of their sight, and their hearing is also impaired.  The apparent "calmness" is not necessarily relaxation, but rather an expression of helplessness and stress.

✋ Touching is not petting: For birds, direct contact with strangers is stressful. Turning their head away, panting, or closed eyes are clear signs of stress.

🚫 Not a realistic nature experience: The behavior of animals in shows often does not correspond to their natural behavior. Begging calls or constant chirping are expressions of infantile dependency, stress, or extreme hunger.

Our conclusion: A birds of prey show does not convey "freedom," but rather a distorted picture of the lives of these fascinating animals.

❤️ Please do not attend birds of prey shows.

Because where there is an entrance fee, the demand for such performances is also financed.

Fascinating birds of prey belong in the sky – not in a show arena. 🦅

⚠️ This!
Even more, if touching wild animals is allowed, you can be certain animal abuse is involved, so you would be involved in the abuse yourself. by @pe_post3

⚠️ Please NEVER like, support, share social media accounts, photos and videos of bears being kept as pets and of bears being hugged by humans in zoos or other places. Those bears are never rescues but sad victims of poaching and illegal trade. ⚠️ 

Laos is known to be a significant illegal trafficking hub. 😡 Fingers crossed this poor traumatised cub will quickly recover and gain trust in the loving care of @freethebears. 🙏❤️
It's already their 12th rescued cub of the 50 rescued bears this year! 😢 Imagine the babies' traumas of having witnessed their mothers being killed and then being locked up in small cages as bile bears, sold as pets or to horrific zoos. Cruelty beyond words! by @pe_post3
