I really think this act or a similar act is unique and different, and I am sure entertaining without ever seeing it. If you watched it year after year, how long before you would be tired of it. Moving from show to show every other year is change. Doing the same act for the same audience year after year will surly drive them away, irregardless of how nice or beautiful it is. Unless you have the animal training skill to change it, and that depends on whether they have been train fast from the start, pushed into one thing, or trained slowly so they comprehend other things, you aren't aware they are comprehending, but am grateful for when it comes time to change them out of their routine.

Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

All I will say is that I think it's a great act.
