Ethical Obligations To Circus Animals

The ethics of using animals for human entertainment has not been a matter of division, bias, and clearly defined solutions for a long time. Discussion on this issue often raises questions about human moral responsibility for animals and thus whether animals should receive the same ethical treatment with humans. This may be the most obvious in a broad subjective and broad debate about the ethical acceptability of human entertainment with circus animals.

Animal welfare organizations recorded many cases of animal atrocities while training circus animals. Animal rights body (PETA), an animal rights organization, believes circus animals are often harassed and physical abuse has always been a way to train circus animals. According to PETA, it is not permitted to give punishment that gives animal discomfort at the American Animal Welfare Act, but the trainer still violates this law and uses items such as Paul and bullfight hooks. According to PETA, in a secret investigation conducted by Carson and Burns Circus, a video clip indicating Tim Frisco, director of the animal caretaker, was taken in order to train the endangered Asian elephant and instruct other trainers "Make it hit the elephant's cow house as much as possible" Pour a sharp metal hook into the elephant's body and twist to painfully accompany it. "

Over the years circus trainers have been accused of atrocities against animals. Many of the previous trainers have publicly discussed the broad systemic abuse of circus animals. With the spread of handheld cameras, viewers and bystanders became more and more frequently capturing animals that received strikes and other forms of circus abuse. Circuits usually insist that animals are not abused. Because they mean a lot of time and economic investment. However, it is this performance that animals are valuable to circus. If the animal does not go well, the trainer has a strong incentive to use a more rigorous way to "manufacture" the animal's ability. Bad animals are responsible

When an animal can choose whether to participate in the circus. What will they choose? Unlike human circus performers, they perform skills such as rope, clown, gymnastics and so on. These animals encountered the most serious animal atrocities at the circus. Trainers often beat the animal and whipped, so that they repeatedly do meaningless techniques (Healey p32). In addition to exploiting the circus, you will see an elephant in the loop performing a cute little trick, drawing some or a picture on the cardboard, and then let the spectators ring the circle .
