Animal Cruelty: The Universal Entertainment Industry

The universal entertainment industry, with its long history of treating all performers equally and respecting all forms of art with no judgement or prejudice, has paved the way for humanity to create negative consequences in the form of commercial zoos, aquariums, circuses, and similar institutions where the bravery of animals is continuously tested by the cruelty of humanity.

These poor animals kept in captivity also have a shorter lifespan (with one example being orca whales who lose a median of ninety-one years from its maximum age of a hundred) and often suffer forms of extreme anxiety which could lead to further violence at the institutions.

Donating money to animal rights activists or groups as PETA also progresses
