In Japan, there are more than a dozen animal cafes featuring otters. Each animal at these otter cafes is suffering for the sake of entertainment. 

• The otters whimper, shriek and make distress calls while customers are interacting with them.  
• Some are kept in solitary conditions with no natural light. 
• Others are seen biting their claws and exhibiting traumatized behavior. 
• Some of the worst housing conditions include small cages with no access to water.
