Source: The Brooke/News Release
The Brooke’s Responsible Tourism for Animals campaign has gained the support of Thomas Cook UK & Ireland, the world's best-known name in travel.
The campaign, now in its second year, calls on all tourists to take action by pledging support and following the Brooke’s Happy Horses Holiday Code - with Thomas Cook UK & Ireland’s support, it hopes to spread that message even further.
How are Thomas Cook supporting the Brooke?
Thomas Cook UK & Ireland has included the Happy Horses Holiday Code in its resort information provided to holidaymakers, in destinations where donkeys and horses are used.
What the Brooke's Animal Welfare team say...
Kimberly Wells from Brooke’s Animal Welfare team adds, “When people travel overseas their excitement of being on holiday can often overshadow consideration for the welfare of horses and donkeys they use. Whilst a carriage or donkey ride can be fun and also provide a vital income for animal owners, not every horse and donkey is fit for the journey. We are urging tourists to do their bit and work with us to reduce animal suffering across the world. It’s simple: think before you ride."
By following the Brooke’s Happy Horses Holiday Code when on holiday, all tourists can help make a huge difference to the lives of working horses and donkeys overseas.
