Animals are taken advantage of by humans and wildlife tourism plays a threat to the ecosystem. Wildlife tourism can cause consequential interferences in the animals' natural habitat and feeding of wildlife animals by tourists can cause a major difference in the social behavior patterns. Two examples of wildlife tourism are, riding elephants, in order to control these elephants and make them valid for human interaction, they are take away from their mothers when they are babies and forced through a dreadful training procedure known as 'the crush' it involves physical restraints, inflicting severe pain and withholding food and water. Another example is taking tiger selfies, tiger cubs are snatched away from their mothers at a young age and are used as photo props. They are typically kept chained in small barren cages and are taken photos with. There are many more examples such as this and signing just one petition can make a huge change and help these poor animals.
