10 Types of Animal Abuse in Tourism We Must Avoid
As a responsible tourist, to what extent do you try to avoid animal abuse in tourism? When traveling or buying a tour package, how careful are you that there are not so-called recreations hurting animals? In fact, we should be aware of 10 types of animal abuse cases that are common in tourism and avoid them. Sometimes travel agencies try to further diversify the package of tours they introduce by combining travel to a tourist destination with some recreational experiences such as approaching wildlife. Unfortunately, these inhumane pastimes, which threaten the comfort, health, and even the lives of various animals, are very common. According to these travel agencies, the goal is “customer satisfaction”! As this persecution has been continuing systematically and over the centuries of selfish human life, its ugliness has been shed and it seems very normal to us. It is time to raise our awareness of these issues in accordance with the Charter of Responsible Tourism and to show our opposition to this uncivilized behavior in practice. Today, about 550,000 wild animals are harmed by humans in wildlife tourism. Such harassment, which is designed and carried out under the guise of fun and entertainment, seems to many to …
