Why animals are being used as humans entertainment? Because, as you know, everyone loves animals , especially children. Automatically ,there will be many people interested in animal show. So, people will use this chance to make animal show for making money such as zoos,animal circuses,etc. Even people will feel happy, but indirectly we hurts animal. Animals also a living things , and they deserved to be free in their habitat.
People also use animal for sport, such as Animal racing ,bullfighting, dogfighting , Fox hunting,etc. Animals are trained by trainers while in the other hands the animal surely get brutal treatment from the trainers, such as improper nutrients, getting hit along while practicing and it really makes them stressed and inflict the pain.
Actually from my experiences when i was 10 years old, i really enjoy seeing animal circuses like seeing the dolphin do some circuses attraction. But currently,it makes me happy not to see the animals perform cause it would cause them stress and pain. We should think about others because we can entertain ourselves in different ways.

4 Zoos
is a facility in which all animals are housed within enclosures, displayed to the public, and in which they may also breed. many places surrounded by zoos (Singapore,Indonesia,Malaysia,etc.) there are many types of zoos ( safari park,aquarium,petting zoos,etc.)
Animals in zoos often exhibit behaviors that are abnormal in their frequency, intensity, or would not normally be part of their behavioural repertoire. These are usually indicative of stress.For example, elephants sometimes perform head-bobbing, bears sometimes pace repeatedly around the limits of their enclosure, wild cats sometimes groom themselves obsessively, and birds pluck out their own feathers.Some critics of zoos claim that the animals are always under physical and mental stress, regardless of the quality of care towards the animals.Elephants have been recorded displaying stereotypical behaviours in the form of swaying back and forth, trunk swaying or route tracing. This has been observed in 54% of individuals in UK zoos.(wikipedia).
5.Fox hunting
is an activity involving the tracking, chase and, if caught, the killing of a fox, traditionally a red fox, by trained foxhounds or other scent hounds, and a group of unarmed followers led by a "master of foxhounds" ("master of hounds"), who follow the hounds on foot or on horseback.(wikipedia). This kind of sport quite brutal.

The Effects
The effects of using animal as our entertainment are they often become depressed and they mostly develop abnormal behaviour patterns,sometimes they harm themselves.Mostly people do not care about the animals are suffering while other people just having fun,and so many animal were killed for the sake of amusing spectators too,if this keep going without the end then the animals surely getting depressed,hurt all the time.
Solutions
1.sign a petition to the government to stop this kinds of entertainment and sport.
2.educate others especially to the children that they need to considered animal's freedom because they are not happy while in other hands we are happy but we need to think about them too because we can find many kinds of entertainment in different ways.
3.do not buy the tickets while they make a performance.
4.invite people to telling each other about animal circuses cruelty so they can stop enjoy that kind of shows and trying to avoid watching this kind of shows and sport,etc.
Conclusion
In conclusion many of people still do not care about animal's misery but i think there are a few people that still care,so i think people should considered about this kinds of problem more,and trying to find another ways to change their entertainment and not using them anymore,they are a living things too they understand everything like us,they just can not communicate well with us. I believe we can get through this if we helps each other because with just one person everything can changed.
