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.

The late Pete Cimini on the right side of the camel..
Looks like these camels have a history and it's all hands on deck. Wade do you know if they were part of an act that year or just lead stock?

Micah,
I should have known you would note the excess "hardware," even without myself pointing it out. :) If I recall, technically they were not even lead stock. They were kept in the stable, and sold later that year. We have often heard it said that "GGW got first pick of any new animals." While that is a fact, and as it should have been, on the "flip" side of the coin, often GGW was asked to take something, normally hoof stock that had been a problem on the other show, as a last minute solution, before having to sell it. In fact, two of the draft horse's and one of the mini's for the "big and little act" I trained in 1993, were originally "kick outs" from the Blue show, which went to GGW, and he was glad to "return" them to the Blue show when I arrived. :)
