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.

Over 100 years old. Purpose-built between the legs of Blackpool Tower. Still going strong between May and early November, plus a Christmas season. But no animals these days, thanks to the policy of the owners. That said, the smell of animals remains in the paintwork despite several layers. I love the place, although I haven't been there for ages.

John,
I have always heard the the conditions for the animals were quite bad, kept in a dark cold basement, as it had originally not been built with animals in mind.
Wade
I have known circus buildings with better conditions for the animals!

John,
I had understood that the stabling for the animals was one of the biggest issues. How does the water fountain work. Does the floor slide open, or does it come out of the ring curb?
Wade
The water is always under the ring surface, which drops downwards. I have no idea of the technicalities, but (as I have said) they differ from those at Great Yarmouth Hippodrome.
John.
