Animals don’t exist to amuse us

The Las Vegas Strip is an entirely inappropriate environment for animals of any species. Trying to spin these cruel displays as anything other than money-grabbing exploitation is absurd. Animals have no desire to be subjected to a constant onslaught of contact with humans.

Although the most egregious animal sideshows are rightfully in Vegas’ history books, no animal should be put on display for tourists’ fleeting diversion.
