The world’s largest travel site has taken a step forward by ending sales of tickets to some animal shows. However, its updated policy, launched on April 25, creates a loophole by only excluding performances which are deemed demeaning or unnatural. We’re urging TripAdvisor to take a stronger stance
The Travel Corporation (TTC) and its family of 30 global brands has committed to working with us to improve the lives of animals through profitable and sustainable solutions
Wild animals are captured, taken from their natural habitats or bred in captivity, suffering a lifetime of cruelty and abuse. Some are beaten into submission, deprived of food and water or trapped in concrete cages – all for the tourist dollar.
Late last year we helped rescue Nepal’s last dancing bears, Rangila and Sridevi. But we’re devastated to learn they were taken – without our knowledge – to a poor welfare zoo, where Sridevi died. We’re urging the government to reveal why the bears were taken there and ensure it protects Rangila.
For more than 20 years we’ve been working to stop the cruel practice of using bears for entertainment. Thanks to you, we’ve ended bear dancing in Greece, Turkey, India and, most recently, Nepal.
Thanks to our partners, the AIUNAU rehabilitation centre in the Andes Mountains of Colombia, orphaned sloths rescued from mistreatment at the hands of humans can recover and learn how to survive in the wild once again.
To help protect animals from lost and abandoned fishing gear, one of the world’s largest seafood companies and tuna producers has joined the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI), which we launched in 2015
