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 guess they know something that we don't.tanglefoot
Tangle,
If time spent in the "trench's" is indicative of knowledge, we have to assume they know a lot more "something that we don't." They have been at it 100's of years longer. Or maybe their environment is different from ours, just as the environment of a tent show is different from a building show, as Europe's is different from the United States, as is Australia's from South America, etc. etc. I wonder how much can be learned by looking at "why" something is done, instead of "how" it is done. You very, very, seldom if ever, see photo's of male elephants standing on a picket line. They are all picketed singly and alone. You also see, one mahout for each male. Is that because a mahout normally owns only one elephant, or is that one reason for their success?
