Over half of British adults have said that if they saw an animal being mistreated overseas it would be put them off visiting that country again.
A survey by YouGov found that over one in five British adults (22%) have seen animals being mistreated when on holiday overseas.
52 per cent of them said they will not revisit the country where they saw the mistreatment take place.
However, over three-quarters of these holidaymakers (77%) made no attempt to report the most recent incident of mistreatment that they saw.
A majority of these holidaymakers (71%) said they had seen animals used in the tourism industry being mistreated.
The survey, which was commissioned by animal charity, Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad (SPANA), was carried out online among 2054 adults aged 18 years and above.
It also reported that over a quarter (28%) of British adults who have been on holiday abroad have taken part in an animal-related activity such as a camel safari or horse carriage ride where they have been concerned for the welfare of the animals involved.
