I stand corrected as in this photo we see Saladin go "vertical" in an effort to see his brother Kaliff.
Yesterday, in an effort to be validated by Steve Robinson and Australia, I broke down and moved the new act animals into the available "cage wagon/beast wagon." It was a big step for me, and I have to admit I kinda feel like a big boy now. :)

Are you no longer using the rolling cages?
My friend, you are full of it!!
You have never felt the slightest need to be "validated" by me or Australia. Nor have I ever felt the slightest need to be "validated" by you or the Americas. We are what we are, and if it works for us that's all that matters.
Having said that, the trailer cage that you are using looks very nice. Aluminum or stainless steel? Any ledges inside????
Stay safe.
Steve,
I'll borrow your quote, "mate, you have to lighten up."
Long ago you asked me "how do we standardize animal husbandry/training? Quite insistently you asked a number of times, alluding to the possibility that I didn't have an answer/solution. "If it works for us, that's all that matters," seems to indicate it will never happen, regardless of the ideas or thoughts and that each should take their best shot, cross their fingers, and hope for the best.

Wade - I have lightened up to the point where I understand that you guys in the States will never get together and create your own Standards. I know that you agree with me on that. Whether you have your own "answer/solution" doesn't really matter if no-one else is listening to you. Same over here if no-one gives a damn what my personal answer/solutions to things may be.
Which is why I say if it works for us that's all that matters.
We are what we are here, the Yanks are what they are over there, the Mexicans are what they are down there - that's all.
We are never going to standardise animal husbandry/training in the circus world so I've moved on.
Keep staying safe my friend.
Steve,
I should hope if the day does come when we here in the States do arrive at a "standard" that it is far less self serving, and more beneficial to the animals in our care then the one you blokes have come up with in Australia.

Do you have a copy of the complete Circus Standards?
Have you read it?
Steve,
Is it not the "complete" version that is available online? If so, yes it has been reviewed. If not, where is a "complete" available at?
