I do not agree to allow the use of animals for human entertainment. Sadly, many animals have been killed by people who do not care about animal rights. We even hardly know how much livestock has been dying due to hard training or fighting on stages. Still, many people are interested in these events.
Most of them are related to money. Therefore, it is hard to ban these activities. Most entertainment involving animals is for gambling. In the world, there are many kinds of gambling using horses, cows, chickens and even dogs. In order to make them strong, animal owners train them rigorously. If they do not meet expectations, they will be killed by the owner. We need to take an action to save animals that have been encountering cruel treatment. Even though, animals cannot speak, they have feelings, and they fear their fate. Therefore, we have to ban those kinds of sports events to save animals.
