The Consequence

Every day, Humane Society International is fighting the injustice of cruelty to animals. While each culture has different beliefs and community, some practices deserve no tolerance. The inhumane use of animals in entertainment is pervasive and includes bullfights, elephant rides, lion walks, cockfights, and marine and country wildlife "performances." Avoid unwittingly taking part in this mistreatment.

Facts about the utilise of animals for entertainment:

Bullfights are non "fair fights," but highly staged forms of government-subsidized fauna cruelty that perpetuate the idea that torturing and killing animals for amusement is adequate.
Bull fiestas and bullfighting are not supported by Spanish citizens: 74% oppose the Toro de la Vega balderdash fiesta (IpsosMORI, 2014); only 29% support bullfighting; and 76% oppose the utilize of public funds to back up the bullfighting manufacture (IpsosMORI, 2013).
Tourists who get involved in South Africa's panthera leo cub petting industry are inadvertently supporting the supply of lions to the canned hunting and panthera leo bone trade industries.
Wild animals in circuses, traveling shows and attractions ofttimes receive insufficient h2o, nutrient and shelter, lack veterinary care and tin can get a public safety event.
Camels, elephants, donkeys and horses used for tourism for rides and safaris are often malnourished and physically abused, and suffer open wounds.
Elephants rides are brutal. Often stolen from the wild when young, elephants are illegally trafficked, broken after capture, punished with bullhooks, carry excessive weight, suffer sores and diseases, and receive inadequate care.
The natural habitat of orcas simply cannot be replicated in captivity.
Swimming with dolphins increases need for convict animals, including from including brutal "drive fisheries" in Japan.
