Traveller demand keeps animals in captivity

BALI is a popular travel destination, with more than a million Australian tourists visiting the island last year. But far from being an island paradise, a recent report paints a bleak picture of the conditions for captive wild animals. Elephant rides, dolphin swims, orangutan selfies and other attractions, such as circus-style shows, are increasingly popular tourist activities for many travellers to the island.

All tourism entertainment venues with captive elephants, tigers, dolphins or civet cats in #Bali, fail to meet the basic needs of wild animals in captivity, according to a new investigation undertaken by World Animal Protection. The Wildlife Abusement Parks report presents the results of an investigation into 26 wildlife tourism venues in Bali, Lombok and Gili Trawangan, housing 1,500 wild animals including elephants, dolphins and orangutans.
