We Planet Earth supports philanthropic organizations and charitable initiatives around the world. Over the years the team at We Planet Earth has engaged with several charity groups, including Save the Children, World Vision, and World Animal Protection.
World Animal Protection International performs several valuable animal rights initiatives, such as campaigning against some of the world’s most egregious, systemic offenses against the animal kingdom. Expedia Group, for example, is a corporation that profits off of a multi-billion dollar captive dolphin industry. Expedia, along with other operators in this industry, uses these profits to deceive the public into believing captive dolphins are happy and healthy.
In reality, dolphins kept at sea parks and similar venues are forced to live in enclosures up to 200,000 times smaller than their natural territory. Training methods frequently utilize the withholding of food, to say nothing of the age at which dolphins, highly intelligent and social animals, are removed from their mothers and the rest of their pods. Despite the many challenges captive dolphins face, the industry takes advantage of the fact that dolphins naturally appear to be “smiling” as a way of selling captivity to the general public.
