An animal strike refers to a coordinated protest by employees of zoos, animal sanctuaries, or other wildlife organizations, advocating for better conditions, rights, and care for animals. During an animal strike, caretakers and staff may halt their duties to draw attention to issues such as inadequate living conditions, lack of proper medical care, or insufficient food supplies for the animals. These strikes aim to raise awareness and prompt changes in policies and practices to ensure the well-being and humane treatment of the animals under their care. Such actions highlight the vital role of advocacy in animal welfare.
