Might these be floor plates stood up at the front of the arena?

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 think they are folded seats
Chic,
It is hard to tell. I don't see any legs, folded up.
Wade
I couldn't see them either
but the dimensions seemed
to match the other seats
That's why I said "think"
Chic,
A common and cheap way to make floor plates, is to take the tops off old seats off.
Wade
Those are folding seats. Clyde Beatty did not use foor paltes.
Jim,
Are you sure? I was told that he, and a few others from the Oaks used floor plates during movie work. I know he didn't use them for the act, because he never had a group, in his case, with due respect, let's make that two, animals sitting up on the floor together.
Radar,
There are your options to keep a new cat from returning to their seat. A stick on the seat, or if they are at the front as Clyde's are, and you can't block the audience,take them down. Or, become skilled bringing them to floor plates, instead of a lay down,sitting them up, and spinning them into another sit up.
Wade
