There is a disturbing development in the fight for animal welfare. The UK Government is reportedly engaging with travel industry lobbyists who want to weaken or scrap a crucial law banning the promotion of cruel animal tourism, including elephant rides and tiger selfies. Despite passing in 2023, the Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act remains poorly enforced, allowing unethical attractions to thrive.

Stay with us as we speak to Duncan McNair, founder of STAE who was instrumental in getting the law passed.
