Some words are nowadays deemed offensive and "moron" is one of them,
I do not understand why people continue with an activity when they know its blatently obvious that it is not safe to continue or the welfare of animals has been compromised.
They must have their reasons, which I fail to see.
Common sense would prevent me from allowing my children to take part if I thought "at the outset" that it was not right.
Compassion for the animals would prevent me from supporting such activities in the first place.
Perhaps someone would like to take up the issue of reponsible tourism here and campaign for strict guidelines in all tourist activities.
This would prevent families from
a) having to take any responsibility whatsoever
b)prevent the exploitation of animals for profit
c)give re assurance that the activity meets the highest standards for health and safety
d)ensure continuous checking to see that it meets those standards with penalties imposed for those activities that do not conform.
I still maintain that until that day comes here,
if you prepay for a meal, go into the restaurant AND SEE a dirty kitchen and have doubts, then DONT EAT THERE! get your children out, demand the restaurant repays, and report to the authorities.
If you have an operation booked, go to the hospital and find rusty knives get out quick, dont go through with it.
If you visit a stables and your immediate reaction is one of great concern for safety and you have such concerns, immediately, for the health of the animals, then DONT take part.
In each example, you have to act on your own initative and not be led by the hand by those at the activity, and then complain afterwards, surely.
