Share to show Carnival we won’t give up

Crammed together, mishandled, and eaten

Cayman Turtle Centre: Island Wildlife Encounter (CTC) in the Cayman Islands is the only attraction in the world where tourists can handle farmed sea turtles.

Formerly known as Cayman Turtle Farm, the venue recently underwent a sleek, friendlier-looking rebrand. However, the Cayman Turtle Centre still intensively breeds thousands of endangered green sea turtles and enables tourists to eat their meat.

The Cayman Turtle Centre is the last sea turtle farm known to breed sea turtles for human consumption. But there is no humane way to farm these wild animals.

Cruise company Carnival Cruise Lines sends tens of thousands of tourists directly to Cayman Turtle Centre every year. Many visitors are unaware of the cruelty that goes on at the attraction.

More than 129,000 of you used your voice to demand Carnival Cruise Line does the right thing for these endangered wild animals. Please share this achievement on Facebook or Twitter now, to show Carnival how many people care.

One of the world’s cruelest attractions

Sea turtle farming is listed as one of the top 10 cruelest wildlife tourist attractions in our 2016 report Checking out of cruelty.

Conditions at the Cayman Turtle Centre make it impossible for turtles to express natural behavior.

One of the world’s largest cruise companies still sends tens of thousands of tourists to Cayman Turtle Centre every year. The attraction inflicts severe cruelty upon endangered turtles.

The conditions they’re subjected to in the name of entertainment are further detailed in our report, Cayman Turtle Farm: A continued case for change.

Carnival: Please do the right thing for wild animals

Around 20% of the world’s cruise passengers travel on Carnival Cruise Lines ships. The business is incredibly influential and must lead by example.

Cayman Turtle Centre heavily relies on cruise ships for customers. More than 200,000 people visit the attraction each year, and around three quarters are cruise liner passengers.

We’ve repeatedly contacted Carnival Cruise Lines since January. But despite making our welfare concerns clear, the company won’t agree to stop taking boatloads of tourists to this cruel attraction.

Other tourism industry leaders such as Thomas Cook have listened to our supporters and made changes to their businesses to better protect wildlife. It’s time Carnival Cruise Lines helped move the world to protect animals too.

Please share this page now, and demand Carnival listens to over 125,000 supporters.
