In India there is a tradition of using animals in any procession. Different animals like horse, camel, elephant etc. are very common. It seems that there is nothing wrong in it but truth is that it is really a bad practice because animals suffers a lot due to this activity.
Animals are produced for such business and used as a machine. WE must understand that animals are here to live with us and not for us!
Hope you understand my point!
