Eesha the ‘elephant’ confronts Webjet at their headquarters
News
Thanks to your support, we recently called Webjet out for selling animal suffering in the name of harmless holiday fun.
With your support, Eesha the elephant puppet stood outside the Webjet headquarters in Melbourne, demanding an end to cruel wildlife offerings on their platform.
As Webjet employees arrived at work, we educated them by handing out ‘circus tickets’ that revealed the truth about the company’s connection to wildlife cruelty.
Eesha the elephant caught the eye of many people passing by who stopped to take photos and expressed regret for having ridden elephants in the past.
The action not only captured the attention of the public but also garnered media coverage in outlets including 7NEWS and KarryOn – amplifying the urgent need to end wildlife cruelty in tourism.
Thanks to your support for our ‘Web of Cruelty’ report, more than 3,000 animal lovers were moved to send letters to Webjet staff.
All of these efforts resulted in us securing a meeting with the travel company to discuss removing cruel wildlife experiences from their website.
Thank you for your wonderful support. Together, we can create a world where wild animals are no longer exploited for entertainment.
Elephant Facts
Elephants are the largest living land-based mammal and can weigh between 3,000 to 5,000 kg with a body length of over 6 metres.
Animals, not entertainers.
Animals are sentient beings who can feel complex emotions like happiness, fear, and pain, to name a few. Like us, they too deserve to be happy and free in their homes – the wild.
