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.
The tip was when three adult sea lions didn't just jump up on the seats. Are these animals so jumpy they will only work around their own prop guy? Two guys to get a sea lion up and down a small ladder. Maybe "reasons" as my grandaughters say. I know sea lions can be challenging but they're capable of more.
Jim, I have been waiting for your comment, as I assumed you would have "picked up" on that. I didn't feel I was qualified to comment, so left it to you. Thank you
The goats were a cute 6 min. act that took 8 mins. BUT they looked like they wanted to perform. A nice novelty. Mark Gebel had a goat act with Mickey Antalek's daughter in his youth.
