One year ago, FOUR PAWS launched a bold and empowering initiative: the Big Cat Reporting Tool—an online platform enabling people across the world to take a stand against the exploitation of big cats. From shady wildlife selfie attractions to illegal sales and online abuse, the tool has become a critical weapon in the fight to break the vicious cycle of big cat cruelty.
Now, as the tool marks its first anniversary, the impact is undeniable. Dozens of reports have flooded in from across the globe, helping investigators and animal protection advocates hold abusers accountable and raise awareness of what big cats endure behind the screens.
“You don’t have to be a zookeeper or wildlife expert to protect animals,” says FOUR PAWS. “You just need the courage to report what you see.”
Big Cats, Big Problems
From majestic tigers to powerful lions, big cats are often stripped of their dignity and forced into lives of misery:
- 📸 Used as photo props for tourist selfies
- 🐾 Kept as exotic pets in unsuitable, often abusive, environments
- 📲 Exploited on social media for entertainment and shock value
- 💰 Traded and bred commercially, with body parts sold for profit
- 🐯 Torn from their mothers and kept in confinement for life
The commercial big cat trade is a global web of cruelty, and most of it starts online—where abuse is glamorized, monetized, and normalized.
The Power of a Click
With the Big Cat Reporting Tool, you can be part of the solution. Every report submitted is a potential piece of evidence in a global fight to end big cat exploitation. Whether it’s an influencer flaunting a tiger cub, an illegal sale, or a disturbing breeding facility video—your report helps build a case.

What’s Next?
FOUR PAWS is committed to using these reports to push for policy change, corporate accountability, and international enforcement. But they can’t do it alone. The tool’s success depends on vigilant, compassionate people willing to speak up when they see exploitation online.
“Reporting abuse isn’t just an action—it’s a stand for dignity, wildness, and the right of animals to live free.”
