Tigers belong in the wild - these majestic animals deserve to roam free in their natural habitats, not confined to cages to be used for profit.

To protect wild animals while you’re on holiday, never visit a venue where you can ride, pet, wash, or watch them perform.

By avoiding exploitative animal attractions and booking your holidays with genuinely responsible companies, you can help stop cruel wildlife exploitation.

Brilliant to see our UK Ambassador Alesha Dixon calling out TUI and asking families to think again before booking tickets to whale and dolphin shows this summer 👏🐬

Thank you so much Alesha Dixon for using your voice to speak up for whales and dolphins, we’re so proud to have you as our ambassador.

It was wonderful to hear you speak so passionately on Channel 5 News about the cruelty behind captive whale and dolphin venues, urging tourists to never visit them 🐬

TUI it’s time to stop profiting from animal cruelty 👀

Orcas are born to roam the vast oceans with their families, not to be confined to tanks for human entertainment.

They belong in the wild, where they can swim for miles, socialise and live as nature intended 🌊🧡

In the animal kingdom, fathers aren't always known for playing an active role but these guys are here to prove otherwise:
⁣
🪸 Seahorses: Males give birth - after the female transfers her eggs into his pouch, the male incubates them, sometimes hundreds at a time, until they’re ready to be released into the ocean.⁣

🦁 Lions: ⁣In prides, dominant males defend their group, including cubs, from rival males. Some fathers also play with their cubs, building bonds and teaching them important social behaviours.⁣

🐸 Darwin’s frog: Once the eggs hatch, the male carries the tiny tadpoles in his mouth or vocal sac until they’re fully developed.⁣
⁣
🐧 Emperor penguins: After the female lays a single egg, she returns to the sea to feed, while the male keeps the egg warm by balancing it on his feet for two full months in sub-zero temperatures.⁣
⁣
🐓 Chickens: Roosters are known to guard hens and chicks from predators, sounding alarm calls and physically defending them when needed. ⁣
⁣
These facts remind us that by protecting habitats, we're protecting families like these 🧡
