The Shine a Light project is a new approach to our investigations work which aims to tell the stories of the individual animals suffering in captivity. To ensure their protection and welfare, we will use their life stories to connect people to them, developing empathy and compassion for all animals.

Situation
Many animals live in captivity in situations that are harmful or prevent them from living their life to the fullest. Many of these animals become lost in the numbers, just one of a group of fish, birds or other animals spending their days in tanks and cages. Very few have their story told and their life experience shared, their lives are hidden in the shadows. To be able to work for the rights of these animals, we need people to know them and connect with them as individuals.
Solution
Our project will focus on shining a light on individuals across the industries we seek to reform by telling their stories of life in the circus, in zoos and aquariums or in the exotic pet trade. This will help people learn more about the lives of animals
