Give to help stop animal suffering in the tourism industry

Our work exposing animal exploitation and cruelty and pushing for change and reform is only possible because of the generosity of our supporters. Give any amount today to help keep our campaign alive.

How will donating help animals trapped in the tourism industry?

Global awareness about the use, exploitation and suffering of animals in the tourism industry has rapidly increased over the past decade. Despite growing demand for improved animal welfare and ethical tourism, the animal-tourism industry still requires significant reform and regulation.

Animal Liberation's latest investigation, exposé and camel tourism campaign, ‘Breaking the camel’s back’, has inspired compassionate people to demand urgent animal welfare action for animals exploited by the tourism industry, and the regulation of all animal-tourism ventures.

When you donate, you will be supporting:

  • Animal Liberation's campaign demanding justice, comprehensive welfare reform for animals in tourism and protection for the Uluru Camels;

  • targeted social media and digital advertisements to raise awareness about animals exploited and suffering in unethical animal-tourism businesses;

  • ethical animal tourism guide advertisements and marketing;

  • the creation of the Ethical Traveller guide.

By donating any amount, you will help our ethical animal tourism campaign maintain momentum, change hearts and minds and help us create a kinder world for all animals.

Give today to help animals like Nicko.

Nicko’s story was witnessed and shared with us by a whistleblower.

“Nicko was forced to work with a knee injury. He would bellow in pain every time tourists mounted his back and he was forced to stand and limp with every step. Despite his cries for help, he was still forced to work every day. Staff would even pass off his screams as “hellos”. 

After weeks of working through the pain, his leg gave in and he collapsed while he was carrying two tourists. The rope around his neck was choking him, but the pain in his leg was worse. The staff cut the rope and Nicko gasped for air. Despite his visible pain, Nicko was still forced to complete the rest of the walk riderless. 

After the tour, the staff left him in a yard with no shelter and gave him no veterinary treatment for his injuries. Less than a month later, he was put back to work.”
