Why investigate?

A dead wallaby left to rot, tigers beheaded, distressed and ill animals - these are just some of the things we have exposed through our investigations. Investigating concerns from the public about animal cruelty are such a crucial part of our work. We need solid evidence to back up our claims of the suffering of animals. Not only that, we need proof to educate and raise awareness about animals in captivity. 

How do we investigate?

So how do we carry out investigations? An investigation can be something as simple as taking a few photos. These days, we all carry cameras in our pockets - on our phones, so that makes it incredibly easy. But some investigations require a lot more planning, and even for someone to work undercover. This type of investigation can be stressful, risky and expensive - but the results are all worth it if they expose animal cruelty. 

So what have Captive Animals exposed?

From circuses, to zoos and aquariums, we have investigated and exposed the truth behind many industries and individual ventures. We have closed places of suffering, gained international press with our findings and rescued animals.
