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.

Is this a Bertram Mills Elephant? Sharp headpiece.
I agree its strange with the B, if this is Rolf Knies elephant. On the other hand, the name of the Knie elephant making the thightrope was Baby, can it be her initial?

ReplyDeleteThat is a possibility, but unusual. Normally if there is only a single elephant on the show.
