Animal Cruelty?

Hey guys!

Thanks for visiting this blog repeatedly to check for updates, and if you're new here - please browse through our other pages and previous posts to see what we're all about =)

I'd like to announce the opening of our Facebook page - SIFE Taylor's University, created by Taha. Thanks mate. Here's the link, please like us.

I've decided to take the posts up a notch and I want to talk about something I experienced, something that I felt and whether or not it should be practiced in the business arena.

Yesterday, my brother and I visited the A'famosa Resort which is somewhere in Malacca. When we entered the place we felt conned beyond belief. We started with the Animal World and when we entered there, things were extremely overpriced, the animals were not that many (not the same as they show in the picture) and most of the good pictures we wanted to take - they refused us saying that only they can take it themselves with their own camera.

After moving around aimlessly for the first hour, we went for the elephant show at about 10.00am. This is what I really want to talk about. I felt the animals were mistreated a lot. I saw one of the elephant with a huge red mark that looked like blood on the right and left side of the body - each side containing two huge spots one near the ear one on the leg. Unfortunately my phone battery had died so I could not take pictures.

Later on, I saw (what I believe) these same animals around various spots in A'famosa especially at the gates of the Animal World, the gates of the A'famosa car park and other spots.

Also, I saw these elephants at the Carnival at Cowboy Town, and we saw one of the elephants with some watery substance around the eyes. Were those tears? Tears of pain and sadness? Tears that someone should hopefully notice and speak out?

When I got back, I did some online research and found that A'famosa has been accused of mistreating other animals as well.

In fact there is a Facebook page as well: Stop Animal Cruelty at A'famosa. Like like!

I'm not saying that businesses shouldn't use animals at all, otherwise we wouldn't have any scary entertainment. All i'm saying that they should be treated correctly, and not be abused. That's what I would do if I were a zoo/resort owner and I think that's what SIFE is about. A head for business, A heart for the world.

What would you do? Do you think animal cruelty is okay for monetary gains? Comment your thoughts below =)
