Circus Tricks

Animals do indeed play a big role in our everyday life. Even the most hardcore animal lovers, me included, would admit to watching a circus of some sort which features animals? I have. And i am ashamed of that.

I am sure that almost all of us have been to a circus, watched it and enjoyed it. There’s a few things we don’t know though. We don’t know what their living conditions are. We don’t know how they are trained. You would not be happy if you were forced to do headstands and sit-ups and being prodded with whips from your trainer as a punishment.

At the end, the animals learn to do the tricks because they’re scared of being punished. They have to endure endless days of training, practicing and hours of performing. At the end of the day, they rest in poor and cramped conditions, but the circus camp can actually afford to improve the animal’s living conditions, they just want to maximize profit and they don’t care if the animals suffer.

They shouldn’t be treated like this! How would you feel if you were them? The animals should be released into their natural habitats instead of being trained for something that normal animals don’t do. Trainers should get it into their head that animals do not naturally ride bicycles or jump through rings of fire.
