Sure, why not. Another term for "behavior modification" is "training". If you can train your dog to sit up, roll over, play dead etc. there is no harm being done and you and the dog have alot of quality time together while you are training it (modifying its behavior). Trained animals in the circus are well cared for and protected by their owners. (The question of whether we should trap and cage animals at all is another question best answered elsewhere, but given that the question really asks about modifying behavior for entertainment purposes, the answer is that yes we can-- it is not cruel to do so) For example, training your dog to retreive and return your frizbee engages the dog in a lot of excercise which is good for the dog.
it is supposed to be for people entertainment and fun. It's supossed to show you how different animals live in their habbitat. It shows young or older children these amazing animals. It's entertainment. It's not cruel, the animals have fun and it teaches you about the animals.
Persons who believe animals should be viewed as non-human persons and members of the moral community, and should not be used as food, clothing, research subjects, or entertainment.

There are certainly those who believe that it is immoral to eat animals, but even if that were true, there does not seem to be any reason why it would be more offensive to eat genetically modified animals than it is to eat the animals that we already have (which are also highly modified by millennia of selective breeding, from their original state in the wild). I can think of a number of reasons why the world's growing population should eat a vegetarian diet rather than eating animals, genetically modified or not. However, I would not say that genetic modification is unacceptable. I will accept it.
People shouldn't use greyhounds because there rightfull animals and people should not race them. How would you like it if you got beat and abused by another person for not winning a race or getting injured.
If unsure of common behaviors and practices do as the others do.
yes it should
yes they should

You should do Fun4All if you have any questions ask me. Or you could call it Entertainment Extravaganza.
Funimation Entertainment's motto is 'You Should Be Watching'.
I think your question should be ..'Can the entertainment industry increase excellence in an individual?'
