Dispute Resolution Partner Duncan McNair shares his insights on the advertisement of unregulated animal attractions
Representatives from the Low-Welfare Act coalition will meet with Baroness Hayman of Ullock, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), along with her officials.
Their aim is to ensure the enforcement of the Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act 2023, which prohibits domestic advertisements promoting cruel tourism practices worldwide.
Spencer West Dispute Resolution Partner and Founder of STAE (stae.org), Duncan McNair states that “many holidaymakers are unaware that every year, millions of animals are exploited, harmed, and killed in tourism across the world. Much of this brutality threatens the survival of the planet’s most iconic species – elephants, apes, big cats, bears, dolphins, ostriches, and exotic birds, as well as vulnerable horses, donkeys, camels, and many others.”
