Ouch, that's horrible. I can't believe any self respecting tourist would even pay for something so disgusting. Hopefully enough awareness can be raised to eliminate wildlife abuse like this.

Exactly. Coming with such a disgusting business is one thing but supporting is just as bad if not worse... Yeah, let´s hope it will be eliminated soon and the poor cats given a better life. But after living in Mexico for 2 years, I have my doubts, unfortunately...
I think supporting is worse, I'm a firm believer that turning a blind eye to injustice is still participation, paying for it calling it entertainment...yuk. As much as I like wildlife and seek new experiences, I go out of my way to only support accredited conservation programs. You can always tell by the mood of the animal how they are treated. Call me crazy cat lady, animals have feelings and I rescue the odd feral or stray. Their personality changes if they are loved and feel secure rather than miss treated.
I can only agree with everything you just wrote here ;) It always feels great to find another dedicated nature lover / animal rights advocate. There are many of us here on Steem actually, this is also one of the reasons I like this community so much.
