All things serve the Beam
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.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

I have never been to a circus, and I never plan on going. Zoos, however, I have no problem with.
Abrupt and Abrasive.
Why hasnt this thread been closed yet.
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.Originally Posted by Insert Easily Offended Username Here
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.

Another view about the circus. I loved it as a child. The Ringling Brothers Circus came to St. Paul, Minnesota in the dead of winter. That was the only place a person could actually see the wild animals up close. There was also the Como park zoo where they were caged. I always felt that these animals looked healthy & were well care for. I also thought they were being saved from being savagely butchered in the jungles, forests, & plains of their homelands by people who were hungry for food & needed money for their families to survive.

I don't recall Liz running this board, so, I am not sure how she could lock a thread, but I am easily confused. This current post of Liz's has a purpose...it seeks to educate and inform, not gloat or boast.
Sana's Eid thread was not closed because it posted pictures/videos. It readily available for viewing, so you can go look at it and discern why it was closed.
As to Puck's thread? Not sure why it was even permitted to post. But, I don't run this board, either. I can't say I saw a point to it....
Blue- you are so transparent. Must be a slow time on your other boards.
