Suzanne Milthorpe made it abundantly clear to animal lovers planning their visits to Bali that should they should think twice before visiting venues promoting animals for entertainment.

Milthrope explained ‘What we found was no wildlife entertainment venue in Bali met good welfare standards for animals in captivity, and most didn’t even meet the basic needs.”

The investigation assessed twenty-six animal tourism venues across Bali and Lombok which are responsible for the care and welfare of over 1,300 animals. According to the findings of the investigation, “nearly all did not meet the most basic needs of the animals held captive.”
