Today, several members of Dolphinaria-Free Europe, including Born Free Foundation, Marine Connection, One Voice, Whale and Dolphin Conservation and World Animal Protection joined forces with other animal welfare organisations, across 9 counties, uniting at TUI Group’s offices in Berlin, to show there is support across Europe for them to stop selling tickets to captive dolphin venues. It’s time to change what is seen as ‘entertainment’ and prioritise the well-being of animals over profit. Consumer demand for ethical tourism is rising, and together we will not stop until captive whale and dolphin entertainment is truly a thing of the past.
Will TUI now listen to the hundreds of thousands of voices, and join other travel companies who have chosen to stop promoting and selling this type of activity to their customers?
