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.
I'm just going to guess that the Miller Boys sat around thinking about it and decided that the target audience reckoned so long as the tigers weren't from Oklahoma, or Arkansas they were plenty exotic.
My older kid came home from college today and announced that he hasn't eaten meat in three months and won't eat it unless he knows that it's been humanely raised and slaughtered. A year ago I would have mocked and belittled him for days, but this has been an emotionally miserable autumn and early winter so I figure my only recourse is to dig the crab pots out of the basement, stack them by his bed and awaken him at 5:30 tomorrow morning so we can go out and kill some crabs with kindness. I dare not ask what he's been substituting for proteins.
Wish I could see more detail of that banner line. Wonder if they had any of the rare Sumattran Lions or black manned nubian tigers from the darkest jungles of South America?
This therefore brings up the discussion of "ligers" and "Tigons" and how they might fit into the educational role of circus animal exhibitions. Warren
Warren, They don't. We had that discussion a while back. You got to the show late. The second half is ready to start. Just kidding. If the official Registrar White Tiger Historian Mary Ann Howell has a moment she may find them and point them out to you. She is brilliant at finding out posts. Wade
P.S. To quote Napolean Dynamite Ligers/Tiglons breed for there superior skill in magic. There's your education.
