Bred for profit
In a world where wild animals are ruthlessly exploited for profit our report, "Bred for Profit", delves into the global scale of wildlife farming and how to make this the last generation of wild animals exploited for commercial gain.
Wildlife farming
Ending commercial exploitation
What is wildlife farming?
Wildlife farming involves breeding and raising wild animals for commercial purposes, such as selling the animals or their products for profit.
This global practice leads to the exploitation of millions of wild animals, which are often sold as pets, used in Traditional Medicine, or exploited in the fashion, entertainment, and tourism industries.
Animals impacted by wildlife farming
Millions of wild animals worldwide are bred and exploited for profit through the practice of wildlife farming.
We urgently call for action to prevent these highly sentient, long-lived species being exploited by commercial industries.
Leading industries
These industries showcase some of the worst ongoing exploitation of wildlife for profit. What worsens the situation is that national regulations often encourage treating these animals as commodities, perpetuating the cycle of abuse.
Captive Lion Breeding
The commercial captive lion breeding industry treats lions as commodities, disregarding the intrinsic value of these wild animals, and cruelly exploiting them for financial gain.
