Is "cub petting" really abusive? That was a cornerstone of Carole's movement.
There are a few theories. One is , they are only small enough to "pet" for a few months. So , you have to keep the breading process going to have enough small cubs to use. Then, what do you do with them afterwards? Its not like a regular pet
The other is that by petting them, you are humanizing them which is bad for them and bad for us.

This is the cruel part. They're cute and pettable for a few months.
Then, they become 500 pound animals that can remove your arm and need tons of food. They can't just disappear, unless you're Doc Antle.
It isn't necessarily breeding then, but breeding them without the capacity or desire to care for them as adults.

Ok, I got it. With regard to the first part, that's what Doc Antle does. Once they're too big to pet he kills them. The second part though kinda doesn't matter if they're in captivity. I guess you would want them accustomed to humans.
