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.

Not bad except for the music. I never saw anyone get that much mileage out of a plank.
Very clever to have the globe
roll in a track to keep it
unidirectional
Something I'll remember
Never too old to learn something
I should have thought of that
Chic,
A track is quite common. Now three balls turning clockwise, and counter clockwise while they pistoned up and down, that was a piece of work which has never been replicated before or since.

Wade - I'm pretty sure this is Nikolaj Pawlenko (German spelling).
In fact, I think I heard the announcer say his name over the music in the video. I'm pretty sure he appeared in the U.S. with an edition of the Moscow Circus.
I know he appeared in the mid-90s in Germany with the Circus Williams/Franz Althoff when it featured acts from the Moskauer Staatszirkus. Probably because of the black tails and white symphonic baton, he was billed as
the "Karajan im Raubtierkafig." My German isn't too good, but I think he worked with about 16 or more tigers.--ToddP
Todd,
I remember the "training style" and the fact that many of the animals were declawed, made it quite controversial at the time. I saw a video of a training session, and it was not pretty. The public can be fooled by too much, "look this is effortless."
