Likely not. I just think it’s not guaranteed torment or abuse all the way on the other end of the spectrum. There’s nuance between enjoyment ↔️ abuse. Maybe they’re trained/domesticated from birth and cannot survive in the wild and a brief ride from a child is the worst thing they experience while being fed and cared for 🤷🏻 Maybe that’s too generous/optimistic for the keepers. Hard to confirm from this short clip.

I’m certainly not saying that he/she isn’t cared for all I am saying is that ostrich’s are not meant to be ridden - period.
As an animal activist I can assure you that to do this type of thing whether it’s a child or not riding it it is animal abuse. Ostrich’s are not horses.
