Animals don't enjoy putting on plays; instead, they are being mistreated and exploited for the amusement of humans. Trainers employ bullhooks, whips, tight collars, muzzles, electric prods, and other painful tools of the trade to make bears, elephants, tigers, and other circus animals execute perplexing and physically taxing performances. Numerous animals, trainers, and members of the public have suffered untold injuries and even fatalities as a result of the frustration brought on by years of beatings and captivity of animals.
The situation isn't much better for animals kept in aquariums or marine parks. Orcas and other dolphins are prohibited from doing nearly all of their natural behaviors in captivity, swimming in circles in tanks that resemble bathtubs to them. Some are compelled to perform pointless tricks instead.
