PRESS RELEASE
‘I am NOT a pet’
#WildMeansWild
Lush, a passionate activist against animal cruelty, launched a social awareness campaign,
‘I am NOT a pet’, with the aim of educating and engaging with communities throughout the
region on the dangers of keeping exotic animals as pets.
There is an alarming emergence of wild animals being kept as pets within the Middle East, and
the trade around them is booming. The dangerous trend of keeping animals such as tigers,
lions, monkeys and other wild species as pets is not only putting family homes at risk but also
endangering the lives of the animals as well as the wider species.
Recognising the threats to the animals, environment and families, the campaign’s aim was to
decrease demand for wild animals through educating on the dangers and cruelties behind
the trend and engaging with children both in-store and online through social media channels.
