“Forty years ago 3,000 zebras roamed the 1,456 square miles of Grongosa park in Africa. After 15 years of civil war there are 10 zebras left.”(Jones 1) Animal welfare is a topic that has been debated recently, should we use animals for entertainment like zoos. Zoos, Aquariums, and horse carriages have come into controversy for animal abuse although some people say that it creates an emotional bond. There is information from both sides and should not use them for entertainment that is at least like we are now.

First of all some horses get hurt doing things like soaring to entertain us. Show horses have to be abused to be able to do what we want them to do (cockerham 1). As a general rule if we have to abuse animal to entertain us then it is …show more content…

The act of soaring which is making the horses jump high normally uses abuse to make it possible therefor it is now illegal (Mcclian1). As a rule it is not good to do something illegal for entertainment. “Soaring for horses is illegal under the Federal House Protection Act” (Mcclian 2) that is another reason we should stop using animals for entertainment.
Finally it can actually put the trainers in danger. A show with killer whales killed a trainer at SeaWorld. As a general rule it is not good for people to put there life in danger to put on a show that may also abuse the animals in it. Would you want to see a man die from abused animals? No of course not, so then why would you risk it and abuse the animals no matter what. “After an orca named Tilikum killed trainer Dan Bragheau at SeaWorld Orlando 2010(Pedicini 1). So I hope that this proves that we should not hurt animals for are amusement. (Pedicini 2)
Now some people will say that doing this makes kids have a connection with the animals, but what this claim overlooks is the fact that the animals, first of all, are in bad conditions and they are not in nature and may not act the same as they would. Also they say that they would do something good with the bond with that animal, but unless they realize that it is a form of abuse they will just make more things that will also harm the animals (Pedicini

Young horses will often have “training issues” under saddle which is normally caused by being stressed and not being mature enough to be under saddle (Geor 2). At the age of two, a horse cannot physically perform to its fullest potential, unlike a horse that is skeletally mature (“Conditioning Young Horses” 4).

Is Rodeo Cruel Towards Animals? Organizations like PETA have been trying to get rodeo events banned because they think rodeos are cruel towards animals because of the rough nature of the sport. Those of us who have grown up in the ranching and rodeo industry know that the animals involved in rodeo are extremely healthy and are taken care of better than a lot of other animals, because the rodeo animals have to be in peak performance. If the animals are injured or unhealthy they won 't be able to make money for the rodeos and the rodeo contestants. We believe that rodeo should continue because it is a sport of tradition and teaches people about how life was in the old west and in some cases how cowboying is in modern time.

Horses could die on the spot, be killed, or trailered to a slaughterhouse without any pain relief or veterinary help. Starting to race at 2 years old could mean a horse would have to go through years of pain before they would retire it and at that point it would probably be sent to the slaughterhouse. Secondly, horse racing should be

How Rodeo Is Not Animal Abuse Do you think that rodeo is a type of animal abuse? In my opinion it is not, just because you are using a animal does not mean you are abusing it.

Society is what defines a villain, society is in charge of “pointing fingers” at someone that has done something bad and therefore creates a big scandalous mess. There isn’t an impact of villains; they don't necessarily harm everyone, they just make people mad and sad at the same time. For example, if someone commits a murder the family of the victim gets really angry at that person but also they are unhappy about their loss and if it's a horrible case that the whole world gets to know about then everyone shares some empathy with the family. The damsel of death better known as Aileen “Lee” Carol Wuornos, is the first American serial female killer. Society did wrong in villainizing Aileen; they created a monster that never existed.

Zoos are bad for humans, most people do not believe it but zoos are not educating us, they are hurting us. Evidence for zoos are bad for humans is, in 2013, a zookeeper in Missouri was killed when he was knocked to the ground by an elephant, he died instantly.(Estrada). This reason this matters is because zoo animals are killing people, and that would not happen as often if they were left in the wild. Animals in films are not as nice as they are on camera. For example, the orca featured in the film “Blackfish,” is responsible for three human deaths.
