Counter-point to the camel video


I ran a video a couple of days ago of a camel performing on a circus in the United States. I didn't want our European, British, and Australian readers to get the wrong idea that it was an example of a camel/exotic act from the states. An anonymous commenter saying, that was their Aunt in the video(that took courage) and their family could train circles around the Herriott family made me think I should post these pictures so there wouldn't be any confusion. This is Cindy Herriott Well's daughter of famed American Animal Trainer, Col. John Milton Herriott, wife of Elephant handler Roy Wells with her camel/exotic act. We, like all the rest of the circus world have junk as well as brilliance. It's not a Nationality, it's individuals and this is about as good as it gets.

Dear Wade,having trouble with computer trying to answer your question regarding Remo Cristiani, if you look at Dick Dykes blog of today there is two pictures of Remo showing Sheba with just a pad on for giving rides. Sheba (age 35) went to miami zoo in'83 where he had put his male Tony some years before,Soma(6)Shantzi(13) went to frisco zoo(83) one day in winter of '83 John Herriot came to visit and wanted Remo to sell rominy(6) to Big Apple Circus. Remo and his ex-wife didn't want any of the bulls to go to a Circus. I had to leave Remo's and go on the road and i never heard what happened to Rominy. I stopped a couple years later at Remo's and he had sold his property and elephant semi-trailer to another man who had one female that gave rides but i forget his name. Gordon Dodge
