GREAT NEWS: Following Giants, an elephant sanctuary in Thailand supported by World Animal Protection, that has just been recognised by Tripadvisor as the winner of the "2024 Travelers' Choice Award." The award underscores that travellers increasingly value responsible and ethical travel experiences. Following Giants prioritises creating memorable experiences for every visitor while ensuring the welfare of elephants remains paramount. Visitors are never allowed to ride, bathe, or touch elephants. Instead, from a distance, you can watch these gentle giants wandering, soaking in the forest lake and stream, and socialising. 🧡 Travel companies like GetYourGuide need to pay attention and commit to stop profiting from cruel wildlife experiences. #Tourism #wildlife #thailand #animalwelfare #ethicaltourism Roatchana (Nui) Sungthong Amy Squires Lena Aahlby World Animal Protection UK World Animal Protection Thailand https://lnkd.in/eJS_D93z

Today in the UK, we congratulate Prime Minster Keir Starmer as he forms his new government.

Labour’s manifesto includes plans to implement improvements for animals, address water pollution, and support British farming while prioritising environmental protection. This poses a huge opportunity for animal welfare. 

Whilst we welcome this and look forward to working with the new government, we at World Animal Protection, like we do with governments around the world, will hold our lawmakers to account.

There is a deepening crisis facing animals around the world, which affects every single one of us and our planet. The Labour government must now face the challenge of addressing the issues of corporate greed and industrial-scale cruelty towards animals.
