A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. 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.

I have always enjoyed seeing old circus menagerie pictures that look like a traveling zoo, because that is what they were. The hippos, crocodilians, big cats, bears, hoofstock, of course elephants and so on. But I must ask, what can a hippo do in a ring? lol
Ryan,
Less then absolutely nothing. Along the lines of a Rhino, but a European reader informs me that folks in Europe love them, and scream when they come in the tent. It must be that sophistication and class, that Mr. Jando and other nut's think set's us apart.LOL I still think it is the excitement level the American audience wants, and many animals don't offer it.
Wade
That is all too true Wade. I asked this same question to my father once regarding rhinos after he told me of training the black rhinos at St. Louis for PC. I said Dad what can you train a rhino to do? He said a very accurate bulldozer. lol. But the American audience is no different from the zoo than the circus - it has to be big, colorful, or dangerous.
