Once upon a time, we thought it ok to have a dog that was kept outside 24 hours a day without companionship. Once upon a time we saw dancing bears that had their claws and teeth removed. Once upon a time we kept zoo animals locked in small cages and watched them pace. Once upon a time we ripped intelligent and self aware animals like Gorillas, Chimps, Orangutans, Killer Whales, Dolphins, and Elephants from their family groups for our profit and amusement. This is just another example of the exploitation of an animal for someone's profit. One day I hope we will move beyond it.
