Dancing Bears
Along the roadside in certain areas, there are people with these bears, that will dance for tourists and the tourists will then throw money. The bears are tamed by putting rings and ropes into very sensitive areas of the nose, and pulling on them will agitate or control the bear. Some efforts have been made to stop that cruelty, though from the owners side of it, why should the bears be treated any better than they are? Hopefully tourists will stop supporting this behavior, and other jobs can be found for these people.
