From Selfies to Saviors: How Social Media Rescues Animals in Tourism

In today's digital age, where social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, its impact on various aspects of society is truly remarkable. One area where this influence shines brightly is in the world of tourism, especially when it comes to our interactions with our furry and feathered friends. While social media can sometimes be a bit tricky, let's talk about a recent case study by Madelene Blaer (PhD), that explores the heartwarming side of our four-legged companions in the tourism scene, with a special focus on how animal rescue organizations can turn travel enthusiasts into animal-loving heroes, all in the digital age.

Now, let's not deny that social media can sometimes act like a double-edged sword. It's true that it has, on occasion, unintentionally encouraged practices that aren't great for our animal buddies, like those wildlife selfies or supporting not-so-friendly industry practices. But here's the sunny side of the story, and it's a heartwarming one from our very own India. Our incredible animal rescue organizations, like the wonderful folks at Animal Aid and Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations (FIAPO), have put social media to some fantastic use. They've used it as a magic wand to raise awareness and rally support for our animal pals, especially when they're part of the tourism scene.

Now, what's really cool about this approach is that instead of just watching from the sidelines, travelers are diving right into the action. They're out there, helping to rescue and nurse back to health our injured and unwell street animals. And guess what? They're not keeping these wonderful experiences to themselves. They're sharing their tales of love and compassion with these animals on social media for all to see. By doing this, they're not only lending a hand to the cause but also inspiring others to join in. This case study, which shines a light on organizations that mix animal rights with voluntourism, is like a guidebook for anyone interested. It's meant to get you thinking about the ethics of our animal friends in the tourism world. And guess what? This study isn't just for us. It's meant to help a whole bunch of folks, including other animal rescue teams. They can peek into this treasure trove of knowledge and use it to create magic in their own animal welfare efforts within the tourism sphere.

So, in a nutshell, this case study is like a bright and beautiful picture of how we can all work together to make tourism a better place for our animal pals. It shows us how we can blend our love for animals with our love for travel, all with a sprinkle of social media magic. It's a reminder that when it comes to our furry and feathered friends, kindness and compassion always win the day.

It's that time of year again! My, how time flies!

Follow the yellow brick road to watch ‘The Mutts of Oz’ running Adventure Dog 2022.

Back with a new name to reflect the utter insanity of a 4th time on this course, our Animal Aid staff team will be sure to catch your eye in our costumes – tailored to suit our team name and the absurdity and hilarity the day is sure to bring. Through mud, water and jelly pits, we will endure it all for the animals in need!

Joined by a stand in Toto and a would-be Flying Monkey, we are heading over the rainbow to raise funds for Animal Aid and the plethora of animals that come through their doors. Every year, Animal Aid sees approximately 6,000 animals find their way to their shelter through no fault of their own. Lost, abandoned, injured or surrendered – they are all given the best care Animal Aid can provide.

To read more about Animal Aid and their mission, head to https://animalaid.org.au

With that in mind, enjoy watching radiant Rhonda and her heart of gold, savvy Shannon and her astounding courage, jovial Jess and her judicious brain, and boisterous Ben who will be helping get everyone home at the end of the 4km journey in which we will get muddy and soaked for the cause.

With ‘The Mutts of Oz’, it’s not where you go, it’s who you meet on the way!

Follow the link below to donate today - no amount is too small or unappreciated!

Going Vegan for the animals

Animal Aid

My Question is... can you truly say your against animal cruelty and still eat animal produce?.

Is there a humane way to take another life?

Is there a humane way to eat dairy?

 Now if you believe yes then look into the way an animal is killed. Look into how a calf is taken from from its mother after she is artificially inseminated by humans to make her produce milk. 

Ask yourself the question above again. Question yourself

The school my children go to always seems to be raising money for disgusting charities that fund horrific animal testing. Even though I've bought it up with the head, it just is dismissed. I refuse to make the donation to their chosen charity and always support animal sanctuaries instead but this will be incredibly useful. Thank you @animalaid_uk Regrann from @animalaid_uk - Sadly, some medical research charities continue to support animal experiments, so any donations made to them could be used to fund this cruel and unreliable type of research. One very easy and FREE way to avoid these charities is to use our app, which can be downloaded from GooglePlay or iTunes/Apple App Store simply by searching for ‘Cruelty Free Giving’. The app is quickly updated when we receive new information on charities. This means that the app contains far more charities than our printed lists and it’s FREE!. . #animalaid #crueltyfree #crueltyfreeliving #vegan #veganactivism #veganlifestyle #animalexperiments #vivisection #endanimaltesting #free #appstore #googleplay

This little sweetie was found by us in the middle of March 2020 on the way home from our sanctuary...

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Completely alone on the street living in the dirt. Ignored by some passers-by, considered unimportant. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Thrown away? Get lost? Mom lost? We don't know ...

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

She's been living with us for a few weeks now. The color of her fur comes into its own and makes our Snow White shine in its sheen. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Do you want to make it possible to help more dogs like this little fur nose? Do you think it's great what we do every day for the dogs here on the island? If so, please support us with a small amount and help us to continue our work. Paws up ...
