A3. Go to the website and look for a company that has paid naturalists onboard and that discusses their research and education process. In the US, you can also go to WhaleSENSE which promotes sustainable whale watching in conjunction with NOAA. #TTOT https://t.co/q7L3aX0cfP

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @pixabay Whilst true, I also need to be clear in my mind what I think is acceptable and also what lines up with best practice which sadly is not always what the local authorities practice or guidance is for political or financial reasons #ttot

For instance donating to a NGO which focuses on #reforestation will ultimately create larger habitats for #elephants

Q4. I was aware of that as it is the general rule of thumb for any ethical wildlife tour. I haven't booked any elephant related activities yet but searching for humane, ethical or sustainable animal interactions generally turns up options for you to vet. #ttot https://t.co/Gi6WnzAl5j

Q5) via @StevenOnTheMove How do you ensure animal cafes treat their animals ethically? #TTOT

SonjaSwissLife

A5 #Wildlife should never be exploited in a hospitality business. I’ve seen photos of cafés in Tokyo with penguins behind glass, owls tied down, and snakes in a glass box unable to move. Very disturbing & all should be banned. #TTOT

replying to @aTravelCompanio @aTravelCompanio Sorry I should have clarified in my answer maybe. The original q was about wildlife which I automatically think of as wild animals. I wasn't thinking about horses or camels or dogs etc. Though I am concerned as to how some of them are used for tourists #ttot

A5. I will not go to an animal cafe. No animal is comfortable with strangers to the extent necessary for that to be good for them. I have done a breakfast with animals at a zoo but they kept a distance between humans and animals. #ttot https://t.co/58glDzVg1j

replying to @bigfatheadz @bigfatheadz I guess horses are supposed to be wild, until broken in? Camels, donkeys (also supposedly unethical nowadays) #ttot Anyways, all I'm saying is you can go to far with it as well.

A5 Are we talking about dog and cat cafes? I'm not sure how I feel about them and I haven't done any research into them and whether they'll just be kept there for all time if they aren't adopted or if they only have a small window #TTOT
