Animals in Sports and Entertainment

hello dear mates
i want ur opinion in this topic
Should human beings be allowed to use other animals as objects of sport and entertainment?
i mean not about whether it is right for human beings to farm and eat other animals - this is covered in the debates on animal rights and vianegetarism. Neither is it about zoos, which are also covered in their own debate. Rather this debate is about various other uses of animals for sport, pleasure, and entertainment. A wide variety of examples from different cultures around the world might be brought into this debate: 'blood sports' such as fox and stag hunting, and fishing; forms of entertainment using performing animals, such as circuses; and sports in which animals perform for human enjoyment, such as horse racing and bull fighting. Views on these issues are often very culture-specific - e.g. some Spanish people may find it easy to accept bull fighting, or some British people may feel more sympathy with fox hunting - these practices can form part of a national culture. Nonetheless animal rights advocates find these to be the most indefensible ways that humans treat other animals. There are two parts to the proposition case: first, it is wrong in principle to exploit non-human animals in any way; secondly, there are many concrete examples of how animals are made to suffer in the context of sports and entertainment. As in any good debate, both sides should pay attention both to principled arguments and to concrete examples throughout the debate.This debate could be done, as it is here, as an overview of a whole range of uses of animals in sporting and entertainment contexts. Alternatively, one particular issue, such as hunting, circuses, or horse/dog racing, could be taken as the main focus.

Well, this topic is very important and I don't know the answer.....
But I think it's ok if it won't hurt them; if it will, it is forbidden.....our Prophet (p.b.u.h) emphasized on the duty of treating animals well.

I 'm with sharing hobbies with animals, but i hate see them in circuses...the dog ( Slougi ) will enjoy with us in hunting...hahaha . i hope i answered u Cookie...

I do like some animals, and I think they have feelings and they get hurt; so we need to be merciful and know how to deal with them because they are alive beings.
And dear cookie, I hate watching circuses I don't know why, may be because of the poor animals............
