PURSUIT ATTRACTIONS & HOSPITALITY INC

Pursuit Attractions & Hospitality Inc. operates a portfolio of animal-based tourism attractions, including wildlife viewing tours and captive animal experiences. The company’s core business model commercializes wild animals for visitor entertainment and profit, a practice widely criticized by animal welfare and rights organizations for exploiting animals removed from their natural habitats.

The specific nature of these attractions—where wild animals are kept in captivity primarily for human amusement—falls under the commercial exploitation of animals. Industry reports and academic research increasingly categorize such wildlife tourism as ethically problematic, citing the inherent suffering and behavioral restrictions imposed on animals for financial gain. While the company may reference animal welfare frameworks, its fundamental revenue driver remains the commodification of wildlife.

This general animal exploitation exclusion applies where the activity does not fit a more specific code, such as animal entertainment for staged performances or meat production for consumption. Pursuit’s operations exemplify the broad commercial exploitation of animals that the policy seeks to exclude.
