The Baboon, Elephant and Camels of Circus Roma

i hate circuses

[CDLver]

These traveling caravans of cruelty are a heartwrenching spectacle. The despicable profiteers who cage, confine, and deprive animals of their natural instincts exploit these creatures for profit. Nothing gives them the right!

Animals are not ours to use for human entertainment!

[journeyman47]

Thanks, CD! You stated my sentiments exactly. I coulndn't have said it better. Check out the "Moses's rescue" vid by IgualdadAnimal for a happy ending!

[neesan1]

Animals should NEVER be exploited for profit..

The circus is no place for animals !!

I am so pleased that Moses the Baboon has been liberated : )

[journeyman47]

Yes! I just saw IgualidadAnimal's new video about it... talk about sweet justice! It was absolutely wonderful to see.

 I only wish the Circus Roma owner would have to spend the same number of years in the same crappy little cage... now THAT would be justice.

Great job, IgualdadAnimal-- Equality for all Animals! Tell circuses to stop exploiting them and join the 21st century. DON'T go to any with animals.

Cirque du Soleil is much better!

In order to see exotic animals, you can buy a DVD about animals, many documentaries exist now... 3D movies... also cheap travels to Africa!

To know about pygmee people, how do you do? 100 yeas ago, they were brought into a kind of "human zoo", in Europe... What do you think about that?

Respect peple, respect animals, let them in peace in their place.

"He cannot reach the water" "this circus must be closed down", feared tiger and happy clown" "spend your dollars in this circus : bah!!" : I love your comments.

I am so happy for the baboon, who was liberated by spanish colleagues.... Go job guys!!

Don't give your money to circuses!! They are jails, prsions for animals!!

Animals are not ours, they are not for our use.

Go vegan.

[journeyman47]

Thanks, I feel the same way: that our fellow animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on or use for entertainment.

Thanks so much for your great comment!

[fissomad]

yes.... each time we are more people thinking this way....

[journeyman47]

I hope so! My goal is to have all circuses with animals banned in my lifetime. We can do it, I think... keep spreading the word!

[misshorselover13]

I think your Stupid!

Not all Circuses abuse Animals! I been to a circus been backstage an seen the animals rode an elephant and were just fine!

[journeyman47]

I see from your channel that you like rodeos, so I'm guessing that you're a daughter of one of the rodeo people who were out at Rowell a few weeks ago.

I'm betting that you're really angry about my Rowell junior rodeo video; am I right? if so you should just come out and say it, instead of leaving comments on my other videos.

Have you ever traveled around the world?  I have; and have seen lots of circuses, and trust me, they are no place you'd want an elephant or other animal to live.

[journeyman47]

2. And even if you were "backstage" at a circus, you only saw what they wanted you to see.

Did you ever wonder where the animals stay at night? (barren little cages) Or how they are trained to do their tricks? (with whips, chains, bullhooks and punishment). Or what kind of life they have traveling much of the year, living in boxcars or trucks? Even zoos have a tough time making proper habitats for animals; circuses fail miserably and are no place for the animals you say you love to live..

[JadoreDesire23]

@misshorselover13 Of course they are not going to abuse animals in front of guests -.- really? That's how they lose their business. How do you think they get their animals to perform? It's entertainment out of their fear.

[IgualdadAnimal]

Moses (the babbon) was liberated by animal rights activists. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that GOOD news.

[journeyman47]

Wow, that's GREAT news!  How the heck did you hear about it??

[journeyman47]

You have no case. Did you even read the DEFRA report? I did. It wasn't a 'scientific' study at all, just a debate that never resolved anything.

And it said absolutely nothing about the Great British Circus anyway, even though they crow about it on their website.

As far as I'm concerned, no circus with animals has a "clean slate". They're all guilty of animal abuse and exploitation.

Sorry your case was a flop. But you simply can't defend cruelty, so don't even try.

[journeyman47]

You've heard how bad the slave ships were, right? How do you know? Did you visit every one in person? Of course not!

It's the same principle with circuses that use animals: I don't need to visit every single one to know that they are all inherently bad, because the very idea of using captive wild animals to perform silly, unnatural tricks to make money is simply wrong. That's all I need to know.

[journeyman47]

Often people who disagree with me assume I'm "ignorant of the facts", when in fact I've made a special study of circuses for 2 years now. For 6 months last year I traveled the world observing circuses, sanctuaries, animal rescue groups and zoos.

I did not visit the GBC in person but I have a good idea of what it's like from their website.

The simple fact is: wild animals don't belong in captivity just to entertain us. Surely they deserve a bit better than that? Can't we give them that?

[journeyman47]

No circus is 'very good' anywhere, as I was trying to show on these videos.

[journeyman47]

OMG, you're kidding, right? "Narrow minded"? Tell me ONE, just ONE circus wth "Polished" records for animal husbandry. Ringling Bros,probably the biggest circus in the world, has an abysmal record of animal abuse, neglect and exploitation.

"Government approved?" They don't give a crap about anmals, just the taxes the circuses make. The US welfare laws are laughably weak.

"Socially enriched lives?" That the biggest joke of all. LIving in trucks and trains ain't no life for a smart animal.

[jakeclown]

circus does need 2 be shut down

[journeyman47]

Yes, it sure does. Thanks!
