Phuket FantaSea: STOP PERFORMING ELEPHANTS
Phuket FantaSea: STOP PERFORMING ELEPHANTS
Why this petition matters
I recently visited Phuket to learn that there is a show called FantaSea where they're "offering elaborate shows with elephants".
This show is advertised everywhere; taxis, billboards and information centres . 'Dancing', 'performing' elephants for entertainment. You can also take photos with baby elephants and ride the adults. There are other animals that are made to perform, such as buffalo and birds. Loud noises of fireworks and chaos are constantly surrounding these animals. Wild animals can be unpredictable and there are children dancing on stage with these animals.
There is plenty to do at FantaSea without including animal cruelty; therefore it won't affect tourism or the employment of local people.
People need to be educated in learning animals are not here for our entertainment. Join me in saying 'no' to animal entertainment!
