If you have a contract and are paying for an act with 15 animals, how much should you be expected to pay if this is what arrives at your show? I know what would happen to my salary., and I know what has happened to a lot of other salaries. Anybody else ever gotten a pass in this situation or heard of something like this?
"A heralded arrival in this year's slightly-less-than-two-hour performance, the shows 116th edition, is BLANKS big cage feature, with British trainer BLANK presenting 11 to 12 of the troupe's 17 felines."

Wellll...I will tell you what I would do. Let's say you are paying
$4000/week for 17 animals that is approximately $235/week per animal.
Soooo $2823 week for 12 animals .
Isn't that how it works?
Rebecca,
4000.00 for 15 animals!!!!! You must have been producing in 1974. What do you do if you have advertised 15 animals, as the "biggest 0 the big" spent a fortune to print 15 on the posters, and then it is reduced to 11 or 12? Death would be an act of God? What would not being able to deal with 15, even though you had 17 with 2 extra for replacements? Or do you make up a patch that become "historical fact" as a lot of patches do? Or do you no longer trust valid animal trainers or valid animal emergencies because of that happening to your show.
