An activist disguised as a “orca” was exhibited in a ‘tank’ outside a leisure tourism store today in Birmingham, protesting today, protesting for alleged animal cruelty.
The advertising trick organized by the Peta animal rights group involved an activist in a dolphin costume, please, to be released while they lay “trapped in a narrow tank” outside the store in the center of the city of Birmingham de Tui in New Street,
As part of a creative exhibition with a sign that said “Tui: the orcs do not belong to the tanks. Drop Marine Parks”, the action of the campaign was established in a busy commercial street to urge the travel provider to cut their ties with what Peta describes as “marine abuse parks.”
According to PETA: people for the ethical treatment of animals, the city was chosen for the trick, since Birmingham airport is among the largest bases in the United Kingdom.
“If Tui hopes to maintain a crushing of credit with the British tourists lovers of the animals, it must stop the promised and benefit from the abuse of orca,” said the senior manager of Peta campaigns, Kate Werner.
“Peta is asking Tui to join the rest of the United Kingdom’s travel industry ending their support for marine mammals.” “
The organization founded by the United States said that “although the ORCAS in nature form complex relationships, they work cooperatively to find food and cross up to 150 miles of ocean every day, those of the sea parks are found in an incompatible group in narrow tanks.
“Hero in concrete prisons for decades and forced to perform tricks for tourists, most dies less than their natural life expectancy,” reads a statement.
In March, Jet2holidays has become the last important tour operator in the United Kingdom to confirm that he will stop selling tickets for marine parks with captive cetaceans.
The operator confirmed that it will no longer sell tickets to places “that have cetaceans (orcs, whales and dolphins) for entertainment.”
“A key driver of our success is the fact that we continually review all operations, and as part of that process, we encourage and welcome the comments of a variety of interested parties,” said a Jet2 spokesman.
Earlier this year, Easyjet also announced plans to change vacations, trips and excursions to make animal welfare a key priority of its commercial operations.
The tourist operator has discarded all the routes that include animal -based attractions. This includes marine parks, zoos, animals of animals, animal walks and sporting events that involve animals.
In response to Peta’s current pressure, a spokeswoman for TUI said: “We are currently reviewing Tui’s animal welfare policy for places with captivity cetaceans, since animal welfare guidelines Abbta no longer contain containers.
“We are doing an in -depth analysis of scientific research and having an open dialogue with different interested parties, including NGOs, scientists and experts in the subject, to make the greatest response decision.
“We are convinced that three processes of animal welfare strategy and audit in collaboration with our suppliers can change the industry outward.”
