Chris Packham on stopping animal cruelty

According to new research, 1 in 3 (31%) people in the East of England have witnessed animal cruelty at a tourist attraction abroad.

Two thirds (68%) would be put off from visiting a country where they think animals are treated badly, and 78% would be put off from booking with a travel company that advertises or sells tickets to attractions where animals are treated badly.

The research was commissioned by Animals Asia who are calling on ‘welfare whistleblowing’ Brits to report cruel tourist attractions to the charity.

Aston spoke to TV presenter Chris Packham and Jill Robinson, CEO of Animals Asia.
