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.

Belle Isle Aquarium--Detroit, Michigan America's oldest Aquarium
Belle Isle Aquarium today

King, If there is anything more fascinating, interesting, and remarkably wonderful then the history of captive animal husbandry, both land and sea, I don't know what that would be. To have the folks involved with that remarkable history portrayed as some kind of monster's is a travesty. With rare, rare exception they all had the best intentions on their path to learning, understanding and unlocking the mysteries of the animal kingdom in a captive situation.
In October 2011 PETA announced they will file a lawsuit against Sea World to gain 13th Amendment rights (anti-slavery) for captive killer whales. On November 2, 2011 a bill to end cruelty to wild animals in traveling circuses was launched on Capital Hill with help from Bob 'The Price Is Right' Barker. Today, May 10, 2012 President Obama recognized gay marriage. Lord help us . . . we are truly in the End Times!
Radar, What about that deal with Col. Joe being entered in the data base not with Krone, and listed dead two day's after the fact? That's almost like mind reading.
