For decades Ringling Brothers have been using animals for entertainment because it was bringing in profit. After decades of protesting against the use to animals by animal lovers/activists Ringling Brothers is planning to leave elephants out of their shows. But what about the other animals (camels, tigers, dogs and goats)? Soon they will be free, we just need to continue to fight for their freedom.
What is so bad about circuses, Seaworld, and other facilities that use animals for profit? Animals are separated from their mothers/family and natural wildlife environment to be confine in cages, small enclosures to be taught tricks. Tricks that the animals are forced to learn and perform or else they won't be able to drink or eat another day. Before performances, many animals are refused water and food for many hours so no 'accident' happens on stage. Animals are broken-down (refused of water, food, a lot of the time are beaten with bull hooks, whips, etc) to be fearful of trainers in order to obey and perform tricks. When animals are bred in these industries, it is to give birth for profit and trade to other companies.
I recommend watching a documentary called "Blackfish" to get an idea of 'animals for entertainment'
