Motordrome Lion


I have never seen one of these live as they stopped them years ago, but they never, ever made sense to me. I think just another "no reason what so ever" use of an animal.

Wade, I agree. This is cruel and absurd, and I too am glad that this was stopped.

Mary Ann,
There wasn't much cruel about it, but it sure was an absurd use of an animal.

I saw one of these motodrome with lions things at Atlanta's Southeadstern Fair in Lakewood Park around 1939.

Given my young age I don't recall much except that it made a heck of a racket as the motorcycles roared around. Sort of a Globe of Death thing without the globe.
