Animals got equal right on earth as we humans do. although animal exploitation is inhumane but certain tourist only support this, I guess if they deny to offer services like ride or whatever from trained animals than the people owning animals will have no reason to keep animals.
First of all I donot get this point that how to people own wild animals, they aren't anybody's property for sure.
But for instance It's great that the owners have made such initiative.
anyways, keep flourishing!
