Where is the one with the water to shoot at the cats if they decide to take out after the trainer?

This comment was censored. I will post it here as it may keep people from getting the wrong impression of animal training in response to informing the uniformed individual above, that it's statements like that that put the profession in a bad light:

Bob,
"one with the water to shoot at the cats!!" The profession in case you weren't aware, has progressed may years past the "good old days" of subjugation. I know you miss Clyde and Terrell, but give today's trainers a bit of credit for learning from mistakes of the past, please.

Wade, it was very unfair to censor your rebuttal, especially after allowing the very insensitive remark about the trainer. It was especially bad because the trainer in this case is Adam.

Mary Ann,
Adam was not even a consideration when I responded. He more then knows what to do. Nip it in the bud, and don't let it get to the point Bob Kitto was suggesting. There have been published accounts of trainers it the old autobiography's, separating animals with fire hose's. Mr. Kitto is very familiar with those autobiographies, and love's them. I just wanted to make sure nobody else misunderstood what he said, and to point out that in 34 years I have never seen a water hose used except to bathe them. That may have been a common practice in day's of old, but like I said we have learned that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That's all. So that nobody misinterpreted a wonderful Circus Fan of Americas love of the day's gone by. With all due respect.
