Does it move you

when you see animals used for amusement? I was just taking a walk in the Forest Hills Park in Queens a few weeks back where there were horses ridden by adults of all shapes and sizes and i felt so sad for the poor horses. I do not mind children riding them..but when i see full grown adults setting their hiney's on them and riding around..rather than walking....i just want to yell at them and drive some sense in them. Again, sea world, circus and all these places that force animals to do things for our amusement..breaks my heart. It is suddenly a big news if an elephant tramples 10 people, or a bull gores a few..but does anyone see the pain and the hurt we humans cause them?? I cannot believe people watch bull fights and there are supporters for it, horse races like the derby has become sophisticated, there are these dog shows where the poor dogs are supposed to do all sorts of tricks! why can't we leave them alone and let them be....
