Is it a Sanctuary or a Zoo?

How do you tell the difference? This year the Australian government is handing out $94.6 million in grants to for-profit zoos and aquariums. Ethical sanctuaries are ineligible for the grant and receive nothing. And yet, some zoos masquerade as sanctuaries, even sometimes including "sanctuary" in their name to elicit even more support for their for-profit business. In these difficult times it's more important than ever to only support ethical animal sanctuaries, so we made a video to help you work out the difference between ethical and animal-using organisations. We hope this helps. #sanctuary #zoo #animalrights #animalwelfare #vegan

Note: In 2017 Farm Animal Rescue was required by council to install certain facilities for visitors to comply with code requirements. In order that these facilities were self-funded by the visitor program, and not our donors, Farm Animal Rescue routinely asks for ticket fees of $5 and $10 to cover visitor infrastructure costs. We are however always happy to provide free entry on application to anybody unable to pay.
