Animal Fights:Dog fights

Cock fightsHog-dog fightsBull fightsDog release fights

"Thinking that if you watch an animal fight you can't get in any trouble. But you’d be mistaken, you get arrested, fined, and jail time for watching animal fights too! It’s because of the viewers that there are animal fights in the first place, without the money and encouragement owners get from the viewers they would have no reason to do any type of animal fights." (Officer C.)

Circuses:

Cage size is very insufficient for animals

Trained using fear of punishmentEvery major circus has received

a citationNo such thing as “positive

reinforcement” in circuses

Zoos:Pitiful prisonsEntertainment, not education

Born free, sold out.What can you do?

Movie/T.V. Sets:

Animals are involved into show business sometimes voluntary or involuntary

They are subjected to abuse because they have to perform in ways that are not normal for them

Careless monitoring of animals on set can lead to them being injured or killed

The problems of keeping a wild animal on set is providing them what they need…. Is space, food, and being able to be their own self.

animals seem so “wild”.Some outcomes of the rodeoWhat you can do and what can’t be
