Animal tourism: Is it ethical?
The Boar. 1 June 2026.

Animal tourism has been on the rise with Robert-Irwin wannabes snapping pics and selfies with wildlife. It’s adorable, it’s curated, and it’s exploitative. Although travelling to observe or interact with wildlife isn’t always at the creature’s expense, many experiences exploit animals for profit. Companies like Tripadvisor have noticeably removed sales for captive wild animal entertainment yet continue to promote exploitative wildlife tourism through images on their website.

Until every cage is empty. Until every animal is free
