A growing controversy surrounds Royalton Antigua Resort as animal welfare organizations intensify pressure regarding the unexplained disappearance of a canine mother and her litter allegedly born on the property. The advocacy group Dogs and Cats of Antigua has mobilized supporters to stage a noon demonstration at the resort’s entrance, featuring visible signage to amplify their concerns about animal welfare transparency.
The organized protest aims to engage both local residents and international tourists, urging broader public awareness and corporate accountability. Activists emphasize that hospitality establishments operating in ecologically sensitive regions bear heightened responsibility for protecting vulnerable wildlife on their premises. The campaign has gained traction through social media channels, with advocates encouraging potential visitors to reconsider their patronage until the resort addresses these animal welfare allegations.
Despite multiple attempts by journalists and animal rights organizations to obtain clarification, Royalton Antigua’s management has maintained complete silence regarding the allegations. This absence of official communication has further fueled concerns about the resort’s animal welfare policies and commitment to ethical environmental stewardship. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between commercial tourism development and animal protection efforts in Caribbean destinations, particularly regarding the treatment of stray animal populations in resort areas.
