World Animal Protection’s recent Behind the Smile report says millions of tourists are unwittingly supporting the routine and systematic abuse of dolphins.
“Our report shows how animal lovers are fooled into thinking dolphin shows are sold as cruelty-free, educational and good for conservation efforts,” says WAP.
“But this could not be further from the truth – the industry is profiting billions of dollars from the cruel captivity of dolphins kept for entertainment.”
WAP explicitly singles out Expedia Group and its brands as one company not only offering for sale most of the top 10 dolphin facilities worldwide, “but also many more”.
