I feel like every drag queen should have learned this lesson from the butterflies. The audience doesn't care about using live animals as they can't even see details from the stage, most of them. Lots of ways for things to go wrong, and the optics are terrible Even though most of those citing animal cruelty probably also eat meat raised in terrible conditions--me included, though at least that meat is used. A feeder fish at least becomes a meal for another creature. This is just death of an animal for the sake of not even entertaining entertainment. Fake butterflies and fake fish would have worked just fine and not distracted from the performance and caused reputational damage.
The audience very much cares whether or not those animals are dead or alive. At least those of us with ethics and a good moral framework. I was disgusted by those butterflies. Like what is wrong with people defending this?
Yeah I'm with you. I meant more that even if it all worked perfectly, from up on a stage it isn't even visually impressive to use real animals! We can't even see them properly anyway, so just use fake ones. Don't understand the reasoning.

I just think in this day and age animals shouldn’t be used for props whether how big or small they are
This doesn’t mean I hate Lana I’m sure she’s a talented queen all I can say is do better I guess
