I don’t know, man. If I had to be a domesticated animal, I’d want to be a donkey giving people rides. It’s arguably better than being chased by lions in their natural environment. The only domesticated animals with better lives are Hindu cows and our cats and dogs.
What is so hard about imagining a world where people don’t whip/torture animals for tourists (who likely aren’t even enjoying the experience that much)? One of the worst experiences I ever had was a camel ride. Nothing about it was pleasant for me, and it was beyond obvious how miserable the camels were. A lot of people ITT apparently would only respond to a situation like that by defending the treatment of the camels as not as bad as something else. Truly bizarre.
