In this interview Mr. Catanosa says paraphrasing, that he does not see anything wrong with this, it's tradition and nobody shown him any proof that the animal are hurt in any way.I want to ask Mr. Catanos "What kind of proof does a person need to make them realize this is wrong? Just because some people see nothing wrong with it and would pay money to see it, doesn't make it OK to do this. It being a tradition is also not an excuse. It used to be a tradition to enslave people, should we bring that back too, because some people may not see anything wrong with it? The absence of proof that the animal is suffering is not proof that the animal is not suffering. A compassionate person would, in the absence of proof either way, be prudent and may I say enlightened, to assume the animal, with the ability to feel pain and emotional stress (and we do KNOW that sentient beings feel all that) but without the ability to speak is probably suffering in silence.
Sign petition to stop this cruel and unnecessary freak show from being reintroduced. This sort of exploitation of animals has to place in a compassionate society! I really doubt that most people really enjoy watching such a cruel show.
