Many animals are still used for entertainment, for example on carousels. Animal protection organization PETA now wants to take action against this and is even taking action against carousels whose animals are not “real”.
It is a problem that animals are used for entertainment, says Peter Höffken, animal entertainment specialist at PETA in Germany. ‘Bild’ had previously reported that PETA had asked a theme park in the Netherlands to stop using animal carousels.
Höffken criticized the fact that tourists in Egypt, for example, ride camels or in Thailand on elephants. People learned as children that it was okay to treat animals this way, Höffken says. For example, via carousels with animals. Because education starts with the little ones, it is good to start here. For example, children can sit in a car or on other objects, but not on animals.
The US animal rights group had previously called on a manufacturer to stop producing and selling animal-themed carousels, according to PETA’s website.
