What is wildlife tourism?

Posing for a tiger selfie, riding on the back of an elephant, watching dolphin shows: up to 110 million people visit Wildlife Tourism attractions every year. Yet behind the shows and performances there is a dark side to this industry.

Many animals have been stolen from their families in the wild and are forced to live in inhumane conditions. Their spirits have been broken by handlers, who beat them into submissive states.

They then live the rest of their lives in squalor and are abused and mistreated on a daily basis. Research shows that over 550,000 animals worldwide are suffering for our entertainment.
