10 Animals Being Used for Human Entertainment
by This is a list of animals that are being used for our entertainment against their free will. They are held captive and used to perform tricks for greedy profiteers.
Monkeys
Monkeys are the most used animal for human entertainment, they are trained to perform tricks for passers by on streets in nearly every country in the world. Most of these performing monkey’s are being treated well for their acts but some are not. Monkey’s are more entertaining in the wild, to see a monkey in its natural habitat is one of the worlds greatest wonders. To watch them performing in the streets to earn some profiteer some money is cruel. Monkey’s adapt to their surroundings and if they are taken out of the trees and brought to the busy streets to perform, they do adapt. They will learn that they must perform for food, in the wild all they have to do for food is pick it up. These people strip the monkey from the monkey and program its brain to dance for food. Monkey’s are usually a placid animal but they are unpredictable in behaviour, they can become dangerous when you least expect it. Most of the monkey’s that perform end up losing the plot and turn vicious and could attack at any time.
Bears
The mighty Bear is one of the worlds biggest animals, they are a lot more dangerous than the monkey. These animals are kept in cages and on a chain and some never see the sight of freedom ever. All bears kept in such poor conditions go crazy they turn inwards. To see a bear that has turned inside itself is the most heart breaking things you could see in your life. Their handlers whip and beat them if they do not perform, the bear doesn’t get angry because mentally the bear has given up on life knowing that there is nothing left but to perform. This activity has been banished from the Eastern world but is still being used as a method of entertainment in India, China and other countries with little or no animal rights.

Another great article. This is good for people to see the negative side to their entertainment. I love and hate the horse picture. I love it because it shows the raw nature of these “sports” and I hate it for the same reason. lol

Okay, I understand the hard feelings many have about this, but I must weigh in on this subject in another way. I am an animal lover and would do anything in my power to help them. However, many of these animals know no other life except captivity and performing. They are constantly being fed and cared for. They do not have to go for days and weeks looking for food and water, as they might in the wild. They are not threatened by other animals for their lives. These animals generally know no difference. Many of these animals would not survive in the wild and would come back if turned loose. Animals are smart. If they have shelter and food and not threatened for survival, and treated was care, most of them, raised in captivity are content. Problems come in to play when and if man has decided they no longer have no value. Then, possibly they are discarded.

In most cases, the animals that are used in this fashion, and came from the wild, are now no longer fit to be freed again. That’s the tragedy. We’ve made them dependent upon us for survival. Good work, Stephen.

I didn’t even have to read much of the text to know that this list is one sided.
And it seems no one pays attention to Westbrook and inbetween.
Oh well… I guess my personal experience caring for seals and sea lions in an aquarium won’t be heard either. They were all wonderful animals, truly brilliant, and cared for like our own children. If we are abusers because we chose to save and rehabilitate almost all of them even though we knew they could never return to the wild, then I guess I’ll take my jail time and memories.

Hey Westbrook!
So because they know no other life, are you saying that animals should continue to be used in these fashions? Could the same have been said about slaves who were provided with food and clothing and a roof over their heads? Maybe you should ask some of the people in prison whether or not they would like to stay where they are or have their freedom? Yes indeed, the bears who have chains and cords through their noses and are made to dance for the entertainment of “animal lovers” like you, would certainly rather not go looking for berries and fish on their own seeing as how they are fed by their captors. I would say that these animals are abused and you Westbrook, excuse it!

I hate to see animals cruelly used for entertainment, and can’t understand people who enjoy seeing animals fighting. The other side of it is that as other people have pointed out, most of these animals that you have mentioned couldn’t survive in the wild, and are actually doing a lot to make people aware of how precious their wild relatives are. Would so many people care about the plight of wild creatures if they hadn’t seen them?

Take another look Westbrook, does that dog look like it’s being “cared for?” And Katien, that’s a sick, sorry, and grossly mistaken justification for the brutalization of anything. I’ve heard it used before – FAIL.
