I'm so glad they're still having animals in circuses. While there are examples of bad training, having animals in general is not cruel and inhumane. As someone who's worked with animals since childhood I should know
So sad to see wild animals in the circus. I'm glad that there is an intelligent and compassionate movement to stop the cruel practice of having wild animals on display. Human acts are the only acts worth watching. If cruelty to animals is "tradition", that tradition needs to be removed from society once and for all, forever.
@@denisesforzi8227 Actually, I do know what I am talking about. I am a former circus performer. I saw up close and personal how very cruel it is for the animals, all of them, on the circus. Chaining elephants, elephants beaten, elephants going crazy because of the cruelty, bears in cages, lionss, tigers and ligers in cages, cages so small that the cats could barely turn around in them, baboons in tiny cages, drinking coffee, one even was given cigars to smoke. How sick!!! All of those animals were forced to perform tricks. FORCED. They are out of their natural elements. Yes, I DO know what I am talking about, sorry to say. I find it pitiful that so many humans are STILL willing to enslave wild animals, to keep them in cages, chained. Horrible, yes, really, really horrible. In the the name of "tradition"? How sad that some humans are not willing to admit that they have been cruel to these wild beasts, claiming that they "love" their charges, but feel no remorse for keeping them chained, in cages, away fro their natural habitats. Disgusting is toonice a word for those people and the treatment they force on their beasts. Bring on the human acts, they are far more interesting to watch, always have been.
