Many know about the cruelty behind the vicious entertainment of dog fighting. Some also believe that horses and greyhound racing are bad for its animal participants. But most don't know that evidence has been popping up showing barbaric treatment of animals in seemingly family-friendly operations. Marine park records have also shown premature deaths of their mammals and circuses have shown animals with scar markings on their faces and bodies. Some are even showing signs of mental scarring with odd psychological behavior.
However, even though evidence keeps showing up, the issue still passes through without much acknowledgment. Big business circus, zoos, and marine parks have enough money to keep these issues rather hushed up. Some corporations are also regular donors of animal welfare groups and might even have even founded some of these groups on their own. Thus, the general population sees these big companies as beneficial and kind to their animals. But maybe this is just a cover up for the awful treatment going on backstage. Between the dog fighting and circuses, should animals just be entirely banned from entertainment? Does keeping the animals for our amusement constitute animal cruelty?
