A half-dozen travel industry companies, including rental giant Airbnb, have agreed to stop promoting or selling tickets to animal rides at the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.
The move comes as a result of ongoing efforts by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) to shine a light on the bleak lives and excessive cruelty that animals such as camels and horses are subjected to at the pyramids.
