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.

Don't quite know where to put this.
But yesterday while everyone else was watching college football, I happened to switch to TCM --- and saw parts of "Ring of Fear." Saw it has a kid. Don't remember the plot. But it was filmed on the Clyde Beatty Circus. So as a kid, I watched the acts, not the movie plot. Yesterday, I happened to tune in on Clyde Beatty's act. Featured black-maned male lions.
A fighting act. Big part of the act was to get a 7-lion lie-down.
Also saw the lion charge the cage door as Beatty exited. I'm a townie. So I don't know the finer points of wild animal trainer. But for sheer thrills and chills, he was an amazing showman. Armed only with a whip, a blank pistol, and a chair, he was amazing facing the big cats. You wonder if he's going to get out of the cage alive. --- ToddP
