NEW YORK, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Published today, World Animal Protection's new report entitled Bred for Profit: The Truth about Global Wildlife Farming reveals for the first time the vast scale of this exploitative industry. Extensive research uncovered that billions of wild animals are bred each year and suffer on wildlife farms for uses such as "pets," entertainment, tourism, hunting, fashion, luxury goods, and traditional medicine. There is an astonishing lack of transparency and inadequate monitoring across this global multi-billion-dollar industry.

Key Points: 
  • Extensive research uncovered that billions of wild animals are bred each year and suffer on wildlife farms for uses such as "pets," entertainment, tourism, hunting, fashion, luxury goods, and traditional medicine.
  • Animals held on wildlife farms suffer from malnourishment, disease, stress-induced behaviors, injuries, infected wounds—and even cannibalism.
  • Shockingly, some captive wildlife populations are now larger than those living free.
  • World Animal Protection is urging governments worldwide to take immediate action by implementing a comprehensive and timely phase out of commercial wildlife farms and associated trade.
