I remember going to the circus as a kid.  At the time, it was truly entertaining- I wasn’t old enough to think how unnatural it is for an elephant, bear, lion, tiger, etc. to do tricks.  It’s not only unnatural, it’s unbelievably cruel.  If you’ve ever been to the circus, did you ever stop and think about how trainers get the animals to do those tricks?  I can assure you that it is torturous and is not something you want your money supporting.  If you don’t believe me, you can watch this video to see for yourself.

The reason for this rant is because I just learned that Ringling Brother’s is coming our way and absolutely loathe Ringling Brother’s and other circuses like them.  If you want to do something to help animals in circuses, click here and consider supporting animal-free circuses as an alternative to circuses like Ringling Brother’s.  There happens to be one in San Jose, for those of you in my neck of the woods.
