Drawing in animals.

I saw a discussion about weather or not it’s ok to draw on animals.

The camp believes this is a great way for children and animals to bond. It stimulates the animals. In this main case, the animal is a horse.

The colors used are animals safe.

Animal activists say this is disgusting. The horse doesn’t look like it’s having fun. And repeatedly being washed, dried, and colored on again.

What do you think about this? Is this a form of animal abuse, cruelty? Or is this really a stimulating, bonding activity to bring humans and animals together?
