Commercial Exploitation
Every day, thousands of wild animals are poached, farmed or sold into a global multi-billion-dollar trade for food, pets, traditional medicine, fashion, and entertainment.
Horrific conditions cause unimaginable suffering for every single animal involved. They also create a hotbed of zoonotic disease, leading to outbreaks like SARS and COVID-19.

The Coalition for Ethical Wildlife Tourism
More than 500,000 wild animals worldwide, including elephants, sloths, tigers and dolphins, are suffering for tourist entertainment.
