Visitors to the Amazon rain forest in South America face different rules for how they can interact with wild animals. A new report issued by the animal rights group World Animal Protection says that animals suffer when they are kept in captivity so that tourists can touch and photograph them. The report is called A close up on cruelty: The harmful impacts of wildlife selfies in the Amazon. The group’s wildlife adviser, Neil D’Cruze, told the Associated Press, We want tourists visiting the Amazon to know that if they care about wildlife, they should not use animals as photo props on their vacation. Animals presented to visitors for photographs are often taken from their natural environments and kept in poor conditions, D’Cruze says. He added that animals that are touched and handled by many visitors each day can be harmed and experience stress. D’Cruze says a solution to the problem is to better educate travelers.
