This chapter discusses the analysis of particular cases of animal treatment to a minimum, and instead considers animal treatment metaphysically, exploring the metaphysical meaning of tourism with regard to animal ethics in Japan. It also discusses the concept of tourism metaphysically. Since the word "tourist" first appeared in The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, various definitions of tourist/tourism have emerged. Personifying and displaying wild animals in this way has been criticized by animal experts in the country, which suggests that the Japanese mass media have little understanding of animal ethics. In Japan, most of the philosophy on animals is imported thought from Western countries. As for the intellectual history of animal ethics in Europe and America, Utilitarianism, as advocated by Jeremy Bentham, was a pioneering concept in animal ethics. Regarding the religious situation in Japan, much research has been done from the standpoint of religious studies.
