Trip Advisor profits from animal cruelty

[Catherine]

It seems Trip Advisor promotes "animal Tourism" to  places where animals are treated badly.
They have been asked to change and they are not listening. They encourage people to buy tickets to swim with the dolphins and things like that.

We need to put more pressure on them. They could set a good example and only sent people to things that benefit animals.
Right now clearly they put profit before animal welfare.

Yes, very often the public is not aware of the cruelty which lies behind these animal 'entertainment' venues.
These things should be completely boycotted, not supported at all by the tourist industry.

I signed the petition here:

Thank-you for finding  a petition. No group should ever encourage and promote the animal attractions that are so cruel  to animals.  I hope we can bring enough pressure to make it worth while for Trip Advisor to promote other more suitable attractions.
