THOUSANDS of animals are being held captive, abused and exploited for financial gain in holidaymakers' "selfish selfies", warns a wildlife welfare organisation.

Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey, 23, caused controversy last month after posting Instagram pictures of her bottle-feeding a tiger cub, alongside a chained elephant, and hugging an orangutan at Safari World in Thailand.
And Born Free has written to UK football clubs and players' union the PFA after a surge of stars, including Manchester United's Scott McTominay, have been pictured with captive animals.
