Think of the wild life
  • Be wary of animal attractions:
  • Do thorough research on any attraction that involves animals. Only zoos and aquariums accredited by AZA and WAZA can organize experiences.

  • Domestic and farm animals:
  • Domestic animals must have adequate shelter, care, food and water. Any situation that undermines their well-being should be addressed immediately.

  • Don’t feed wild animals:
  • Responsible encounters with wild animals involve maintaining a safe and respectful distance from them, not chasing them, making as little noise as possible and leaving no residue.

  • The 5 Freedoms for animals:
  • • Freedom from hunger and thirst
  • • Freedom from discomfort
  • • Freedom from pain, injury, or disease
  • • Freedom to express normal behaviour
  • • Freedom from fear and distress

  • Speak up!
  • If you see animals being treated poorly, say something.
