Should Animals be Used for Our Entertainment Purposes?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byYES!

I don't see any problem with it as long as the animals are well kept and fed properly. Just think, if an animal were in the wild they would be struggling to get food everyday and they would always be at the risk of being killed or eaten. We are kind of doing them a favor by prividing a better life

Even pets are 'used' for our entertainment, comfort, pleasure. It is wrong and evil to make animals suffer, yet we see with aquariums and other venues, that we can learn much from animals as 'entertainment' all the while being responsible for their well-being and needs.
