Iditarod dogsled race
Irish "sport" of hare coursing in which greyhound dogs are set on captive wild hares in enclosed arenas.
millions of dogs and cats are killed each year in the U.S. because of overpopulation
ysical abuse of and cruelty to live animals in movies and on television
Last year, nearly 100,000 American horses were either killed at one of three U.S. slaughterhouses for export or shipped to Canada or Mexico for slaughter.
interstate and foreign commerce in nonhuman primates for the pet trade
transport of exotic animals for use in canned hunts
trophy hunters write off their killing sprees by donating their mounts to pseudo-museums.
slaughter of downed livestock—animals too sick or injured to stand are walk on their own
Every year in the United States and Canada, more than a million animals are harmed and/or killed in college and university courses such as general biology, anatomy, physiology, and psychology

Answer 2

Animal testing

domestication - they lose the ability to survive in their natural habitat
same with putting them in zoos

Killing them for goods (ivory from elephants)

Development of housing....takes away their habitat.

sure their are tons more. all that comes to my mind right now.

Answer 3

circuses
zoos
competitions like Dog Shows
race them
test products/meds on them
Hunt them (that is a really nasty bit of harm!!)
house them with us (pets)
sacrifice in religious rituals\
cross breed them for 'fun'
running out of ideas.
Is that enough for a start?
