Question

Should ANIMALS BE USED IN PUBLIC AND STREET PERFORMANCES?

Answer 1

As long as they're used to being around lots of people and aren't being hurt, there shouldn't be a problem.  But you have to take time to socialize them really well; otherwise they'll get badly stressed when plunged in front of an audience.

Answer 2

NO!

Answer 3

I, personally, know of dogs who LOVE to preform.

They love the attention, and nothing makes them happier than when you clap and cheer for them.

Dogs.

Cats.  (the ones who will tollerate such "non-sense")

The occasional bird and rodent.

NOT wild animals, not abused animals, not any animal that is stressed and unhappy.

It all depends on the animal and the situation.

Answer 4

I think it depends.  As long as the animal is being cared for and treated well then i have no problem with.  I have heard that some people say that it is exploting animals but let be really making a dog catch a frisbee or do back flips is cool and something that people do in parks with there animals so why not take home a little bit of money for your animals talent?

Answer 5

well i think its okay but only if u treat them well if u mistreat them its definetly not ok

Answer 6

I think that as long as they are not mistreated, are fed, and are praised for what they're doing, public performances are no different from teaching a dog to sit on command.

Answer 7

No way that is sooo wrong! its animal cruelty
