This is what happens when you don't set a standard for animal training/presentation soon enough

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.

Wade,
Translation:
Zirkus Charles Knie (guessing this is the name of the circus) and Aids Help Frankfurt Present Gay Circus Night.
Entry is 16 Euros.
(this last part not quite positive since I don't recognize the first word) But I think the last line means 2 Euros from every ticket sold goes to the Aids Help Frankfurt Foundation,

This is a picture screaming for comment by JMH..LOL..Does this guy have on a lone ranger mask?
I can hardly wait until the next time Casey Mutt Canine says something about "Gunther bra's", and I an not going to say anything anymore about the pink net deal he sometimes has the nerve to wear.

For your info, Charles Knie sold the show that carries his name 2 or 3 years ago.
John.
John,
I knew that, but I was just going along with Casey. You are right though, he should not be held accountable for that fiasco. All credit should go to Mr. Sacha Melnjak and his band of professional troupers.

Wade - I had a phone conversation with Charles Knie last week and this series of pics was mentioned.
He said that he rents the use of his name and his family is so mortified by this turn of events that he is trying to get out of the contract for the use of his name in the "show's" title.
He owns a bird park now in Australia and is doing well here.
Steve,
Welcome back, mate. I can understand him being mortified. Circus Vargas used to have a "gay" show every year in San Francisco. Not a different show, but "members of the fraternity/sorority bought tickets at a very reduced price. As we all know which way Cliff Vargas's "boat floated" his only concession was to have his friend, well know TV game show puppeteer/ventriloquist Wayland Flowers and his puppet Madame, as the guest Ringmaster. Madame was described in her bio as an "outrageous old broad" who entertains with double entendres and witty comebacks.
As outrageous as Mr. Vargas was, he never asked anybody to dress like a monkey, and denigrate their act. The hoot's and whistles while embarrassing, you tolerated as it was a normal show with, dare I say it, "normal" folks seated in 3/4 of the house.
I understand Mr. Knie trained most of the animals on the show originally, including the sea lions. There was a Parrot act listed in the program, at the start of the show this year, and there were rumors of a dove act but neither of them ever appeared.
