Australian Zoos: Revealing a Life Behind Bars

In this 2026 investigation, Farm Transparency Project investigators documented the lives of animals in captivity at five zoos, aquariums and animal spectacles across Australia.

We found animals living sad, lonely lives, deprived of the stimulation they need to thrive. We also uncovered the deception behind zoos claims that they play a crucial role in the conservation of native species.
