Animal Cafes Are Fun And Cute, But TikToker Says In Japan They Can Also Be Abusive To …
This TikToker, however, has a different take. She made a video, which starts off with her saying, “If you are visiting Japan anytime soon, do not go to an animal cafe. There are so many reasons to avoid them at all costs.”
She goes on, “They are kept in small spaces where there is a lot of aggression and subsequent injuries. There is a lack of enrichment; they are extremely stressed due to the crowds of people expecting interaction with them.”
Then she says, “The sole purpose of their overstimulation is for people’s entertainment. For example, the owl at owl cafes, where they are being chained to branches and kept awake even though they are nocturnal, for people to interact with them.
She went on, “Even the domesticated animal cafe, like dogs, do not provide adequate enrichment or exercise for their animals while again being constantly overstimulated throughout the day.”
The TikToker ends the video by saying, “There are some ethical ones that promote the rescue of cats and dogs, but please do your research before going. Animal welfare is not the best in Japan, so just keep that in mind.”
