The Circus Is In Town

[Alysser]

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.

Im just confused by Liz's hypocrisy.

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.

Blue, no one has asked for this thread to be closed. And, in fact, a thread is sometimes closed at my or Paul's discretion. We - no one else - are the moderators here.

Sana's thread was closed as the discussion has all been had, and nothing new was being added anyway. It is still there for people to see. Puck understands why his thread was removed, he and I discussed it. You are always free to PM me if you think a thread should or should not be closed, just know that, as I have already stated, it is not based on popularity or popular acclaim or anything other than my and Paul's discretion.

Side bar.... Since it was brought up.

The point to it was I wanted to share something that was special to me to people I care about. (Is this the part where everybody gets all bent because a successful hunt is something special to me?) This place was the last one I posted it on and, oddly enough, the ONLY one of the 'pet' forums I am on where it was such a controversy. One of them is even run by strict 'mom' type too. And it was no big deal there either.

Actually, I know why it was such a big deal here. And it has ZERO to do with this place being a 'pet' site. That animal I killed was NOT a pet.

But, I reckon it is best to let sleeping dogs lie.... Unless they are laying in my spot on the couch.
