    Hi.

    I urge everyone to boycott circuses that use animals.

    Everything may seem fine when they are 'performing' but they are treated appallingly behind the scenes.

    Please watch this PETA video.

    Thank you.

    how can a tiger, lion, elephant etc EVER be considered to be treated well when they're caged?

    just because they might not be physically abused doesnt mean its not abuse.

    what circus gives a close to natural environment for an animal, especially the wild ones?

    I find it difficult to do anything on the recommendation of PETA. What's next? Horse racing? Dogs for the blind?

    ok PETA are a dangerous joke but large animal circuses are wrong no matter who's championing the cause ;)

    But a circus without elephants is not a circus for me. I love they way they can walk like humans on their 2 feet. The elephants never look unhappy when i see them preforming....

    Discussions on PETA/ALF / similar are against the forum charter.

    Also seriously - report the post instead of posting 'ooh look a troll' type posts.
