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.

These elephants came from Hagenbeck untrained. John Gindel trained them and they appeared in Olympia in 1934 in the fun fair as an extra attraction. They became one of the best elephant acts in the UK at that time. Gindel was already working for Mills, presenting Hagenbeck's zebras, Brazilian mules and ponies. This act had been purchased by Mills from Hagenbeck. They sold it back to Hagenbeck in part-exchange for the baby elephants.
