The cruelty keeping wild animals in the entertainment industry

News

Right now, animals suffering in the name of tourist entertainment need your help

Wildlife tourism sees elephants, tigers, lions, macaques and thousands more innocent animals taken from their mothers as babies, broken through cruel ‘training’, and sentenced to a life of dismal captivity.

She is drugged and hit into submission every day to allow people to pet her and take photos.

Only cruelty keeps them there.

While tourists remain unaware of the abuse going on behind the scenes, the animals forced into lives as photo props and performers suffer every day of their existence.

Help them break free from the cycle of abuse. A life entertaining tourists is no life for a wild animal. We are determined to keep wild animals in the wild - where they belong, but we can’t do it without your help.

Become an Animal Protector. Your monthly donations will save animals from cruelty.

Your contribution could:

  • Educate tourists about the truth behind the scenes
  • Lobby tour operators to stop selling tickets to wild animal shows
  • Re-train local people to find new ways of making a living, without hurting animals
  • Develop sustainable solutions for moving wild animals trapped in the entertainment industry into the wild or sanctuaries

Wild animals are not entertainers. Thank you for helping to end their suffering.
