Animals being used for Human Entertainment
Of all the horrors on this planet, I find the use of animals for the pleasure of humans (those with a very sick nature), to be one of the most despicable. It is rather disgusting to think people actually pay money to view a creature being used in ways that totally disrespect their nature, and dishonors our guardianship over those less capable of protecting themselves.
The atrocities commited on a daily basis really makes me wonder which is the better role, being a human, or being an animal. At least animals, when left alone in their true habitat, are true to their own basic nature and have no wish to control the world around them. Some humans behave in such a way as to show they are more inhuman than they would like to think. Pehaps if this treatment by humans, of animals against their will, were reversed… well then one might take a step back and see just how sick some people really are.
I would like to point the way to a rather disturbing example of why I find a world where humans mistakenly believe they have the power over animals to do things that go against their basic nature so abhorrent. 10 Animals Being Used for Human Entertainment is just a very small example of how widespread this travesty truly is.
I find no amusement in the disrespectful treatment of those beings the Creator has placed upon this planet as part of the Great Balance. Who are we to take advantage of the wild ones who live alongside us? There is only shame in such treatment. We can stop this simply by not participating, and letting our voices be heard in protest of these bizarre practices. Most people don’t even think about it, but it is the darker part of human nature which turns a blind eye to the dishonor we show when we condone such behaviour.

This is a great post. I often struggle with the difficult task of teaching my two young buys 3 & 5 why we can’t go to the Circus or the Rodeo (which there are plenty nearby). How do you explain to a young impressionable mind why they can’t do something when society is showing them that it is so acceptable and normal, yet to us, so horribly cruel.

Hello Peltman,
I am writing a series of stories for children called: Compassion for Animals and Respect for the Earth, and find your information extremely helpful, especially for the “Facts Page.”
Respectfully,
Rebecca
