You lost him well before "intelligent and proper" but those words are definitely not in his limited and aggressive vocabulary!
The most dangerous part of my act; that's a difficult one, really. Well, seeing as my tigers are so good and never have any ill intentions towards me, my act is very safe on a day to day basis. Even feeding time is ok, because they are used to my presence. There is a certain element of risk on my behalf when we mix new tigers with our "originals" but even then the risk is mild because we only allow the 2 groups to be together under our supervision and after a long period of observation to decide whether or not they are ready.
Hope that answers your question
The greatest gift one can receive in life is that of an education and an open mind. The man who has a closed mind always lives a lower quality of life, imprisoned by his own blindness.
Who are you to say the animals are abused? Have you seen them with your own eyes? Are you a vet or some animal expert? Please do enlighten me.
I have noted something bizarre several of the commentators on here are seemingly very good at asking questions but not so good at answering them.
Surely you would agree that any intelligent and proper debate should always be a two way stream of communication so why not answer questions as well as asking them? As I say you need hit a good slap!
Anyway, that's done now. Poor little one :)
Don't mind newbie. He turns to the bottle to deal with everyday life, and the fact that you are so defiant means that he is most likely p!ssed out of his mind, trying to numb the pain of not getting his way :)
Your lot say that the slave trade is alive and kicking, and they're right. Intellectual slavery is possibly more rampant today than physical slavery is. The only difference is that victims of the former group have put themselves into slavery, and you yourself are one of those victims, trying to get more people to hand over their objectivity, as you have.
Now really, I have been more than fair with someone who doesn't have the nerve to face the music and explain their beliefs, so, unless your next post answers my very simple question (which is why do you only blindly follow animal rights groups in regards to circuses but close your ears to their cries about zoos and meat?) I will block you. It's your choice: the high road or the cowards route :)
The fact that you are too afraid to answer my question shows that you really doubt everything you have said. You can easily prove me wrong, but I know you won't :)
Great description of circuses, more ADI quotes?
First of all: they have plenty of room to avoid their own mess.
Second: they are cleaned out daily, trust me :)
Third: they have exercise cages to spend the day in.
Fourth: You have no proof that I beat my animals.
Fifth: You cannot name a single trick that my animals do in the ring that is unnatural, as they are completely natural movements :)
Sixth: I thought that there was scientific proof that travelling didn't cause animals stress :)
