Tiger selfies in Thailand

Tigers in tourism are suffering

Stop tiger exploitation today

Around 1,500 tigers are currently trapped in Thailand’s tourism industry.

Tigers do not belong in chains.

£30 could help lobby local Governments to ban the breeding of captive tigers for commercial use.

A tiger cub born into the tourism industry will face a lifetime of abuse. Young tiger cubs, like Tiana, are subject to harsh training regimes where they are starved and beaten, grinding them into submission so they can perform tricks and pose for photos.

When they become too big, they will be forced to speed-breed the next generation of captive tigers before being killed and sold through the illegal wildlife trade for traditional medicine. 

To stop the cycle of suffering faced by so many tigers, we are working to ensure stricter legislation is enforced on wildlife venues that stops them from breeding tigers in captivity, and reduce the demand for tickets for these cruel tourist attractions.

Thanks to the support of our generous donors and campaigners, we’ve already persuaded over 250 travel companies to stop selling tickets to exploitative wildlife venues, and we’re educating people about the horrific abuse these poor animals are forced to endure in the name of entertainment.

Together, we can make sure this is the last generation of tigers to suffer in captivity. 

Your kindness is a lifeline to animals in need. 
Together we can end cruel tiger tourism.
