Yes, putting these animals to "work" like this is still work for them. They don't have the conceptual ability to make art - but the tourists pay to watch and maybe the money goes for their care, one hopes. And everyone is getting into the act, even aquariums who have penguins "paint" pricey "artwork" that is then sold in the gift shop.
Formerly a hi-tech engineer, now an emerging artist on the quest for my own voice. People are my favorite subject matter, and I am always on the hunt with my camera, pencil or sable brush.

Still, better than cages and a circus!
