With You Every Step | Travel Podcast
Society & Culture:Places & Travel
This episode we talk about a very serious issue. Unfortunately, this issue is funded by tourism. We talk to Ben Pearson, the Senior Campaigns Manager from the Australian branch of World Animal Protection to talk about Animal cruelty.
Every year over one million Aussies visit Bali. Have you taken a photo with a Tiger? Have you sat on top of an elephant? Unfortunately, you have contributed to supporting animal cruelty.
This episode is to inform you on why it's not okay. I did it many years ago and it has haunted me ever since. It was recommended to me as something fun to do in Thailand, (before the world of social media existed). It's selfish for us as humans to use animals for our enjoyment. It's not okay.
Animals are being taken out of the wild and used as entertainment for tourists. Ben talks about the treatment behind the scenes at these types of places in Indonesia and Thailand. We hear about the process used to make these dangerous animals pose for a photo or allow humans to sit on their backs.
It's horrific and everyone should listen to this episode, you do not want to find yourself contributing to this type of animal cruelty. We need to put a stop to this type of treatment. We also talk about how you can help and safe way to see animals.
Knowledge is power.
