Entertainment
Animals aren’t props or performers, and most kids would be shocked to learn what really happens behind the scenes at places that use animals for entertainment. From roadside zoos to marine parks, we help students spot red flags and ask the tough questions like, “Where do all the baby tigers at the roadside zoo go when they grow up?” (Hint: not a magical sanctuary.) We support students to connect the dots between animal exploitation and “family fun” activities—and offer exciting, humane alternatives that no tank or cage can match.
