Zhang Xiaohai, executive secretary of the Ta Foundation, a Beijing-based animal protection organization, noted that it's becoming rarer and rarer across the globe to exhibit animals in showrooms, as is currently being done with Pizza. This is especially true for marine animals with high intelligence. Zhang believes that such exhibitions are inhumane, and that is wrong for visitors to support them.
