Thanks so much, but it was the place, for sure. This is an incredible spot in the world — people of many nations are there, but also the locals bring culture to the foreground. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

I agree: usually there’s no way for us tourists to judge if the animals are treated well. A blooging friend of mine, from germany, a horse lover and owner of a horse herself. wrote some time ago about how badly horses are treated over there. She knew, and she had examples.
As to horses: sometimes, for example here in San Antonio, those horses pulling the tourits carriages are definitely not treated well, having to stand in the full southern Texas sun on the hot asphalt for hours when there are no tourists. And only recently the city of San Antonio EXTENDED the hours the animals can be made to work!

Thanks for your perspective. I wondered the same thing. And I’m not sure the animals are kept well. I do know that the livelihood of the people showing off the animals depends on the health and well-being of the animals, so it behooves the trainers to treat them well. But there’s no way of knowing if they do.

What an interesting place! Thanks for the report. My only concern are the animals presented there. I can’t imagine that they are kept the way they should – if you can keep an animal in captivity in the way it should at all.

Thanks, Joanne. You were such a good sport to join the African dancers. And what fun we had looking at all the vendors, snake handlers, and music makers. What a place! You’re right — I loved Morocco!
