Animal cruelty

[MykelTheSuperfan]

So I was searched up MJ recently and I discovered these stories that the Media was talking about that MJ was cruel to his chimpanzee Bubbles.
Personally I think that the staff of Neverland were the ones that would have treated Bubbles and the animals abusively if they ever did abuse them but please tell me if this is true or not

None of it is true. ANOTHER smear attempt by the biased British media.

Not true. Michael was very gentle and patient with Bubbles. Also when Michael left Neverland after the 2005 trial, an animal welfare team reviewed the animals still living there and confirmed they were all in very good health and not abused.

animal cruelty is the angle the media would have gone with to destroy Michael, if Evan chandler had never did what he did. You can see them slowly start to built that false narrative as early as the bad era with bubbles.

Well...

If we're being completely honest, zoos are a form of animal cruelty and not something we should continue to support.

Michael had a private zoo. Sure, the animals at Neverland had much more space than those in most other zoos—but still, taking an elephant from its natural habitat and keeping it somewhere it doesn’t belong (Liz Taylor) isn’t right. That said, times were different back then, and I’m not sure MJ would make the same choices today.

Who said the animals were taken directly from the wild? They could have been born into captivity, which in that case it would be cruel to release them into the wild,

Michael got his llama louie from the circus. So theres no reason to believe the other animals were not also already in captivity.

I am not judging MJ in my post. It were completely different times...

Overall, Michael obviously respected animals. In complete transparency, during one of the Brad Sundberg seminars, Brad said that one of the regrets he had working at Neverland was a tiger or lion enclosure being too small, with an accompanying picture.
IIRC he never blamed Michael directly, it was more of just a circumstantial misfortune of ignorance by everyone at the time, including the animal's owners.
