The Circus Is In Town

[chocolatepuppy]

Haven't been to a circus since I was a child. Would never go to one as an adult, I knew better by then.

I wish you all would tell a friend about the way animals are treated
and "trained" in a circus enviorment & discourage them from going. These
people should be rewarded for this behavior.

If you have ever read the propaganda promoted on Ringling Brothers website
(as an example) they say they don't make the elephants do any thing that
isn't already part of their natural behavior. Check out the "training" schedule
of the babies in these pictures. Does that look natural to you?

They should be charged with animal abuse. It's time to outlaw this disgraceful practice and have the circus use human performers only.

Like they say in Urdu, taubah hoti hay! (For God's sakes what the heck [type thing]) I mean I never thought before humans could reach this much cruelty! This is way too wrong, those poor babies did nothing to them!

I protest the circus every year when it comes to town. I haven't been to the circus since I was a little girl.

Consider it done.

I, too, used to LOVE going to the circus when I was a child. It was a chance to see animals I loved, up close.

However, when I got older and wiser, I realized how appalling circuses are. When my son was young, I would only take him to circuses and carnivals that did NOT have animals. And I indeed told all my friends why I would not go with them to circuses with animals, and some of them refused to go as well, then.

I have never been to a circus, and I never plan on going. Zoos, however, I have no problem with.

Why hasnt this thread been closed yet.

This is a pet site.

Puck's hunting thread was closed because "this is a pet site' and he asked before starting the thread and posted warnings about his links to pics. Sana's Eid thread was closed because "this is a pet site" and she never even posted links to pics or videos.

Liz posts a link to offensive videos and nobody has called for this thread to be closed like the others, why?

Im not watching the video Liz wants us all to watch, but Ive never been to a Circus either so I dont have a guilty conscience either way.
