Help SAVE animals from terrible suffering
Help SAVE animals from terrible suffering
The issue
Take action to stop the shameful hypocrisy of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), and spare animals from unspeakable horror.
WAZA says it exists to promote animal welfare and conservation. But some of WAZA's members and affiliates - who pay WAZA membership fees - are doing the opposite. They're buying dolphins captured in the bloody Taiji dolphin hunts, and abusing scores of other defenceless animals. WAZA knows this - and yet takes no action against its members.
Publicly, WAZA says the Taiji dolphin hunts violate its Code of Ethics. But behind the scenes, WAZA actually agrees to the captures.
Add your name to the global outrage. Call on WAZA to help stop dolphin hunts and other appalling animal cruelty.
WAZA endorses its members, some of which are involved in the world's worst animal cruelty. The pain suffered by these animals is horrific, and so is WAZA's hypocrisy.
In addition to the Taiji dolphin hunts, there are WAZA members that chain and beat elephants. Some WAZA members buy wild beluga whales that have been captured in terrifying hunts. In WAZA facilities, distressed bears live in tiny cages, and tiger cubs that appear drugged lie lifelessly in tourists' laps for photos.
WAZA, which is the world's peak zoo body, accepts these facilities' money, and takes no action to stop their cruel exploitation of animals.
Please help put an end to these horrors.
Australia for Dolphins is behind a global campaign to shame WAZA into doing the right thing by animals: stopping cruelty and defending their welfare.
Please sign and share this important petition.
When we reach 100,000 signatures, Australia for Dolphins will hand deliver the petition to WAZA headquarters in Switzerland.
We'll invite media and, with your voice, call the world's attention to WAZA's hypocrisy.
If there's one thing a member-based organisation like WAZA doesn't like, it's bad press and negative attention. Help blow the whistle on WAZA's hypocritical behaviour.
Send a clear message to WAZA and its global members that cruelty to animals must stop now.
