The entertainment sector is a lucrative industry that provides employment to millions of people worldwide and generates significant economic impact. The industry encompasses a wide range of animal applications, including zoos, dolphinariums, circuses, and the use of animals in film productions. This often raises serious concerns regarding the welfare of individual animals and species conservation. This chapter explores examples of animal use in entertainment, examining the economic aspects of the industry and addressing the ethical controversies involved. To improve the welfare of animals in entertainment, several policy proposals are suggested, including financial incentives for transitioning to sanctuary models, taxation and regulation of animal use, and the promotion of innovative technologies as alternatives. These policy proposals aim to ensure the humane treatment of animals while maintaining the economic viability of the entertainment sector.
