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.

iN jAPAN THE GIRL that worked one of the liberty acts was sick and I asked Charly to fill in. He was pleased and during the matinee I watched from my ring thru the corner of my eye. It did not go well and in our dressing room he never mentioned it. On the night show it was a complete turn-arounf. They worked great and all of us in the company [yes almost everone watched thru the curtains. He was very plewased. Like a ballplayer he saw the first pitches and adjusted from there. He had a background with liberty and liked it and was very capable just like Holtzmaier. Quite a guy. Johnny
John,
Thanks for sharing. I love your analogy to a baseball player, "he saw the first pitches and adjusted from there." That's what makes great ball players great, and great animal trainers great. As I have suggested in the past, after studying Charly and GGW to death I was able to conclude that their great success was that they worked/trained the tigers like liberty horses.
Do you suppose the guy on Cole just hasn't learned how to adjust to a whip yet, John. LOL You should have seen 6 years ago, before there was 6 years of working a large act under the belt!!!!
Regards Col.,
Wade
