“Individual travel companies and tour operators also need to do more to ensure that they don’t promote or sell excursions that feature animal photo props and close-contact activities with captive wild animals,” Born Free wrote in a report published on Thursday (1 June).
The call to arms is part of the charity’s campaign to end the practice of people using animals as props in their holiday photos. Born Free has urged Brits abroad to stop taking “Selfish Selfies” this summer, as animals used in their pictures are usually being abused and exploited for financial gains.
