What is wrong with using the word "circus" to describe something else?

Like the word "circus" there is a universal word "Animal Trainer/Presenter." Is it a descriptive word to describe what the public will see at the "circus"?

Ian,
No this lame excuse was trained by a European (note two people in the arena and remember it is individuals not nationalities) who snuck by the immigration screener, and was allowed to work in the United States, as a skilled, none other available animal trainer. He worked a Hawthorn act for a while and was in China for 3 years, and after bitching continuously about the pyramid and the terrible life in the United States he left taking the money he had earned here, while good American trainers sat, and went back to China and produced this spectacle only taking 2 1/2 years. Copying everything, because although he was very "experienced" it was all he knew.
Thankfully he is out of the profession, and this is in China where we won't have to defend ourselves against it.
