This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Park Hotels & Resorts owns and operates the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, a property that maintains a live animal exhibit featuring Chilean flamingos and other wildlife as a central guest attraction. This business activity constitutes commercial exploitation of animals for entertainment.
In March 2025, a guest at the Flamingo Las Vegas was arrested and charged with four felony counts of animal abuse after allegedly injuring a bird in the hotel's wildlife habitat. While the alleged abuse was perpetrated by a third party, the incident highlights the inherent welfare risks of maintaining captive wild animals in a high-traffic, entertainment-focused environment. The company's operation of this exhibit falls under the general animal exploitation exclusion, as the activity does not align with a more specific sub-category like animal entertainment or factory farming.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
