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.

For Radar--Hang Seats
Both Beatty and Jacobs used hang seats at the front of the arena. The low animals were normally the working animals and the others were seat warmers or didn't do much. The hang seats in the front could be "tipped" off the arena after the animals sitting on them left.
Mable Stark's hang seats at Jungleland 1963. Note the guy lines holding the arena upright and straight so it wouldn't lean in from the top with the hang seats.
