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

He is forced through pain and fear to dress up and perform tricks.
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 stamp out the abuse, but we can’t do it without your help.
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
