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.

I don't know, but with the tiger skin rug, and big elephant tusks, they have taken the "cat claws and teeth/ illegal contraband" to another level,,LOL
Casey,
Surely you recognized fake fur, and fiberglass tusks? If not the audience must really be impressed.

You gotta admit Wade they are glamorizing big game hunters with this set.
Casey,
There is nothing wrong with glamorizing big game hunters, or any other legal enterprise. But in this case, they are glamorizing Indiana Jones.

Irrespective of the connotations, that is one hell of a setting to sell an act. I like it. Wonder where they get their prop hands from????
Steve,
It is elaborate, isn't it. The show in Mexico, I spent a month with training a hind leg tiger had a setting even more elaborate. There were a total of 22 life size "tiger head bust's" across the back and around the inside of the the box seat walls.
I believe their prop men are from Hungary and Morocco. There is a lot of pride when you are the best or "National Circus" of your country.
