While you are away

  • Don’t accept culture as an excuse for cruelty. Cockfights, bullfights and the use of animals in religious or other festivals can all be considered part of a local culture, but culture is no excuse for cruelty.

  • Don’t be tempted to try the local cuisine if it includes domestic or wild animals. Avoid food items that are produced through cruel practices, such as foie gras, or involve inhumane killing, such as bushmeat.

  • Only visit animal friendly attractions. View wildlife where it belongs – in the wild. Many zoos and marine parks keep animals in poor conditions with their basic needs denied. Activities like swimming with dolphins may appear fun and educational but are unnatural and stressful for the animals involved.

  • Never purchase souvenirs made from animals. Avoid all products and souvenirs made from animals, including all fur, ivory, shells, seahorses, teeth, rhino horn and turtle shell products.

  • Never pay to have your picture taken posing with a wild animal. Many of these animals have been taken from the wild and their mothers killed. They may be drugged, harshly trained or have had their teeth removed to ensure they ‘behave’ around tourists.

  • If travelling with a group, check the itinerary doesn’t include activities that exploit animals. If it does, lodge a complaint with your travel agent or tour operator, who may be unaware of the cruelty involved with such activities.

  • Avoid animal rides. Poor care and inappropriate equipments means rides on all types of animals – including donkeys, horses, camels and elephants – can perpetuate cruelty. Horses, which pull carriages for tourists in many countries, often suffer from heat stress, lameness and injuries from collisions with traffic.

  • Remember the farm animals. While free range organic food may be hard to come by in some areas, it is worth checking – if restaurants recognise a demand for cruelty-free food they may stock it in future.

What can you do if you see an animal suffering?

Standards of animal welfare can differ greatly from region to region, but you don’t have to feel powerless when you witness animals suffering abroad.

If you see an incident of animal cruelty, note the date, time, location, type and number of animals involved. If possible, record what you have seen on film. Photographs and video footage are invaluable evidence, but never pay to take them.

It is vital to lodge your protests locally in the first instance. Report the cruelty to:

  • the local tourist offices
  • local police
  • a local animal welfare society
  • your tour operator.

When you return home, inform the country's embassy and your local politician.

Act today to make a difference to the welfare of animals around the world!

WSPA’s vision is of a world where animal welfare matters, and animal cruelty ends.
