Quando animais são usados como objetos para consumo

Hey y'all, I wanted to address a few of the most common comments I've seen so far: 1. The device used to 'hang' the dog in the shower is primarily for nail trimming Yes, that's true. Grooming slings are commonly used to safely trim a dog's nails and can be a helpful tool when used appropriately. My concern was not that the device exists or that using one is inherently abusive. My concern is how it's presented in the content. In the videos, the creator hangs the dog before the bath without providing any context. If the dog is having its nails trimmed, we don't see that. Instead, the device is being used to create engagement, not to educate viewers about grooming. And, grooming slings are typically used when dogs are aggressive, anxious, fidgety, etc. The dog is exceptionally well trained and the sling was likely used for shock or entertainment value and is not necessary in this context. 2. Dogs can enjoy performing This is also true! Many dogs enjoy training, learning new skills, and performing tricks. Training can be enriching and strengthen the bond between a dog and its owner. Although I did make a distinction between training and performing I should have provided more nuance. There is a difference between training and performing in my eyes, which has a lot to do with intention, types of tricks, and frequency among other things. A dog occasionally doing tricks for friends and family and a dog becoming a recurring prop in a content business are two different situations. I pointed to the dog knowing how to pose as a potential problem because to me this leans more into performance given the context. A family teaching their dog to pose for the occasional photo or learning to pose at all is very different from a content creator whose business relies on that dog repeatedly performing for videos, thumbnails, advertisements, and sponsored content. While the behavior may look the same, the purpose is different. In one situation, the trick may enjoyable, enriching, and bond strengthening. In the other, the trick becomes part of a business model that generates views, engagement, and income. When an animal becomes a recurring performer in a business, I think it's reasonable to ask whether that performance serves a mutual benefit (for dog and owner), primarily benefiting the animal, or primarily benefiting the creator. Relatedly, comparing domesticated and non-domesticated animals was poor on my part. Domesticated animals have been bred to live alongside humans, and many genuinely enjoy human interaction and living alongside humans whereas wild animals like dolphins and whales are not meant to live in domesticated or captive settings. I have some strong feelings about animals and animal content that seeped through in an unhelpful way. Sorry about that. When views, sponsorships, and revenue are tied to keeping animals entertaining and constantly on camera, I think it's fair to ask whether those incentives are always aligned with what's in the animals' best interests.번역 보기

I’m a reptile keeper and the animal abuse in the reptile and exotic pet world can be so awful. Wrestlers using snakes as props, pet stores consistently keeping reptiles in tiny enclosures not even half as large as they really need, the Petco “desk pet” debacle, pet hoarding…. It’s so rampant but because reptiles are considered “unfeeling” or “gross” the general public just don’t care as much. It breaks my heart whenever I see animals of any kind being mistreated or used as props. It’s why I’m so grateful for the reptile community and how hard they’re working to weed out the bad seeds so reptiles can be safe and rewarding and we can be worthy of keeping them.번역 보기
