Our tour operators campaign targets holiday companies that promote and sell trips to marine parks holding whales and dolphins.
By persuading them to stop supporting these establishments we can reduce visitor numbers as a vital step to ending cruel captivity.

Please care for whales and dolphins by taking action today.
Today there are around 3,000 whales and dolphins held captive in aquariums, zoos and marine parks. One day, we’ll look back on this time and think, how could this barbaric cruelty ever have been considered entertainment? Help us end captivity now.
