Right now, captive wild animals are being exploited for profit and entertainment. Will you be an Animal Friendly Traveller?
Wild animals have a right to a wild life
Travel companies, tour operators and venue owners profit from some of the cruellest types of wildlife tourist attractions. And the demand for wildlife entertainment attractions has been growing globally.
The wildlife entertainment industry in Australia and around the world, is animal cruelty masquerading as innocent family fun, with unsuspecting visitors fuelling demand for close wild animal encounters.
Seeing a captive wild animal in an unnatural setting, forced to behave in an unnatural way, simply paints an unnatural picture of wild animals and their natural behaviour for visitors. So see wild animals in the wild where they belong.
We want wild animals to live a wild life, where they can thrive. And, together, we can end wild animal exploitation for commercial gain.
Making animal friendly choices
Most visitors love wild animals but don’t know about the stress and suffering these animals endure when they are cuddling, having a selfie or watching a captive wild animal perform in a show.
We know that people visit wildlife tourism attractions like zoos or theme parks because they love animals and want to learn more about them. Many are completely unaware of the suffering that occurs behind the scenes.
Reducing visitor demand for cruel captive wildlife encounters is vital to stop wild animals like koalas, tigers and dolphins being bred in captivity for our entertainment and profit. By working together we can educate ourselves and others to make animal friendly choices – pledge your support today.
Together we can stop the demand and end the cruelty.
