Butterfield & Robinson Stops Promoting Elephant Rides
After hearing from PETA, travel company Butterfield & Robinson confirmed its formal position against any activities involving captive elephants.
“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
