Hong Kong Ocean Park’ Backtracks Crocodile-Skin Watches Amidst Backlash

PETA Statement: Hong Kong Ocean Park’ Backtracks Crocodile-Skin Watches Amidst Backlash

Ocean Park doesn’t care about animals—it cares about profits. It was ready to cash in on cruel crocodile-skin products until backlash forced it to backtrack. PETA has long condemned Ocean Park for confining animals to artificial, restrictive environments that deprive them of the space, enrichment, and autonomy they need. If Ocean Park truly cared, it would accept PETA’s offer to move the animals it exploits to sanctuaries. Instead, dolphins, sea lions, and other animals remain trapped in tiny tanks, swimming back and forth in environments that are nothing like their natural homes.

PETA urges the public to do their part by staying away from Ocean Park and other facilities where animals are treated like props to entertain tourists.
