How many times have we watched National Geographic film a lion killing another animal? That was for our enjoyment?

I think the real issue is that we(people in general) may not agree but we should not inflict our will upon others.

I believe the bull fights in Spain are cruel, but I will not tell them they should not practice their culture.

Animals are not human, and they are not our equals. I do not think animals should be abused, but they are entertaining. How many times have you given a cat, catnip? What if the cat fell off a chair after someone gave it catnip and got injured?
