Your Fun Is Their Misery
This comment by Tsach Gilboa on the post What Kind of Company Tells SeaWorld “Thanks For the Order, But We Don’t Want Your Money?”
It is a simple issue really; are animals here for our amusement and entertainment? I don’t believe they are and never liked the zoo and the circus where animals are exploited and tortured by being taken out of their natural environment and made to exist and perform for our “amusement”. A related issue is eating animals, which people have a right to, but do not have the right to torture animals before and when killing them, think of veal (made to live in boxes from birth to slaughter for tender meat) and dogs (tortured in China beaten alive to tenderize then and then boiled alive), all behavior that is completely unacceptable and must end.

Food for Thought:
We are all sharing this planet, humans and animals, in a fragile mutual dependency system. We are all better off when we, humans, treat all animals with respect and don’t impose an unnatural existence and death on them for our pleasure and benefit.
