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.

Oscar Carre--on Laszlos TOP TEN LIST
This is the first picture I have ever seen of Oscar Carre. Thank you, Ian What is interesting about This TOP TEN LIST "competition" is that an Animal Trainer and a Fan who is an afficinato of horse acts came pretty close to the same picks. I wonder how an aerialist, a juggler, or a non partial person would have picked?
Though, it would be difficult to put Oscar Carre in with the others, since no one alive has seen him work, so you'd have to go on reputation. It seems, from my research that Albert and Ernst Carre were as talented, but then again, that is from photos. Never the less, the Carre family was enourmously venerated and performed every possible act with horses, going back over 150 years. The Royal Theatre Carre in Amsterdam was built by Oscar as Circus Carre, and is still in operation today presenting international music talent and Broadway but still presents circus from time to time. Quite a legacy.
