Daily life entertainment. Like zoos, circuses provide a negative educational message. Watching wild animals perform unnatural tricks outside their natural habitats does not teach children anything about the animals. By displaying bears as tricycle-riding caricatures and by dressing elephants in tutus, circuses present animals as creatures whose purpose is to amuse us, rather than creatures with an intrinsic value and their own nature and behaviour.

Animal life
Racing is another example of human use of animals merely for entertainment and pleasure. The pleasure derives primarily from gambling on the outcome of the race. Buffalo racing, camel racing, dog and horse racing, etc. are all activities outside the
normal expectation for the wild animal equivalents of the domesticated species.
