I love the Circus! There are like four of the in my home state each year and the are almost always sold out! I'm taking my daughter next month! The paper says they have Elephant, camel, zebra, and pony rides! Rare Amore, and snow Leopards! They have a Javan Rino, large constrictors, a white Croc, a dog bonobo chimp act, along with monkeys, and a hariy Asian "dwarf" elephant named "Mammy"! God, I'm glad we arent as whiney as the Brits and our kids get to see this stuff like we did as kids!

Its all lies what he says there is video footage of this circus by ADI showing elephants being hit viciously in 2009!

[COMP3LLED2KILL]

Lying Bastard!!!!

[abisheridee]

I've seen where they keep the tigers. It's shit.

[SadiesSpirit]

Cricuses have been known to use bull hooks on the elephants. Are you sure they would be honest and tell you about that. I dont' think so. They are meant to be free in their natural habitat, not stolen to be money makers for humans.

[AnimalMagic1]

"bull hooks" .. for those that aren't aware .. release a electrical discharge .. thus forcing the animal to do something that they have no desire nor wish to do ..

[askalice50]

These "ambassadors for the species" don't belong in circuses, and there is no way they "perform" willingly. I hope no one attended this atrocity.

They must be in the wild release them. Also Lady Bugs are a must on this earth we need them ...man must leave them alone as well.

[diane189444]

They don't belong in a circus they belong in the wild there natural home where they get the proper food they need naturally. This is not good plus people are mean to them...Don't go Someday they won't be on this earth due to us

[TillyFlop]

Animals should be in the wild .. unless they are injured or wouldn't otherwise survive .. then a sanctuary would be the next best place. A zoo or a circus is NOT acceptable !!!

Please everyone DON'T visit the circus .. if nobody went then there simply wouldn't be a circus !!

[MelCoyle]

I cant believe that circuses are still around. Who the hell could possibly enjoy watching animals being made fools of? These animals are chained while not performing, transported in vehicles that lack climate control, and forced to stand or lie in their own waste. In the circus, it is common for baby elephants to torn from their mother while they are still nursing and forced to perform. SICK

[lostinpieland]

Just can't figure out why anyone would want to see any animal degraded in this way!!!!

[junglespirit1]

he says that the elephants in safari parks are bored?? safari parks are so much closer to their natural environment! so you prod them with sticks, force them to pose, and make them walk round in tiny circles to prevent them from being bored? i hope karma comes and bites him on his idiotic backside.

[neesan1]

Let the Elephants be Elephants .. not a circus freak show !!!
