Thailand is a land of tourism. Much money in this country is made as well by means of animals' photo exploitation. This petition is to encourage WSPA to check this business for legacy and animals' rights compliance; to figure out if there is any violation (quite possible that the contempt exists); and punish the illegal exploitators. And, hopefully, in future prohibit this cruel business.
Animals' exploitation contradicts animals' rights. I would also like to address to everybody to think about it and not to take pictures with animals.Because the cost of such pictures is too hight.The real cost of the nice picture is despicable, distressful life of the captured animal. The life which is far not the life the animal would live in natural environment. The unfortunate animal is captured in a very young age, separated from it's mother, put in captivity, is fed by ambiguous food.It has his teeth and nails removed; often this surgery is carried out without any anesthetics. Animal's health is gravely destroyed, and he is not likely to get medical treatment, because it's unreasonable to spend money to repair the tool.It's easier to get another one.Yes, for the owners of such a photo model the animal is not a creature, it is just a tool for making money!So their goal is to maximize their profit with minimal investment!The bushy slave serves his owners until he is barely able to work. Afterwards it is either killed or thrown away, being condemned to s slow agonizing death. No need to tell that the animal will not ever be able to adapt in jungles.
So?Still want the picture with a bushy cuty?
This petition calls to everybody to stop sponsor animal exploitators and WSPA to examine animal exploitation cases not just in Thailand, but other countries of the world as well and think about establishing the law in future prohibiting animal photo exploitation.
