🐯 The Big Cat Public Safety Act (H.R. 1380) is scheduled for a vote this week in the U.S. House of Representatives, and we hope you'll help by showing your support!
Private ownership of tigers and other big cats for commercial exploitation in poorly-run facilities is a serious animal welfare problem and poses dangers to both people and animals. This legislation would strengthen the existing law to prohibit the possession of tigers, lions, and other big cat species except by qualified entities such as AZA-accredited organizations. It would also place restrictions on public contact with these species and would curb the use of commercial photo-ops, petting, and similar activities that undermine animal care and welfare.
It's easy to share your support -- visit the AZA Legislative Education Center, where you can send an email directly to your representative: www.aza.org/legislative-education-center#/43🐯 The Big Cat Public Safety Act (H.R. 1380) is scheduled for a vote this week in the U.S. House of Representatives, and we hope you'll help by showing your support!

Today is #GivingTuesday 🐢
Did you know - more than 80% of Riverbanks Zoo and Garden's revenue is generated by members and guests visiting the park. Consequently, extended closure dramatically impacted our overall operations. Despite the challenges, our dedicated team continues to provide the highest quality care to the animals and plants and engage our community in new ways. Your donation today is more important than ever to help provide vital support for the animals and the humans that care for them.
