I'd be surprised if anything like that was still happening in Western Europe
I saw something similar in Thailand though, an elephant park where the elephants were whipped to make them walk, and one had a hook in it's ear to make it pose. The worst bit was I never noticed this going on until after we had already paid money for the elephant ride and got on the elephant. Had I known before I wouldn't have given my money to the company, I felt so bad after.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
