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.

I believe it's Gus Augsburg. He made many appearances on Ed Sullivan and other TV variety shows in the 1950s, maybe 1960s. I heard he was originally a comic before he did the monkey act - sounds like a plan. He worked in Las Vegas a lot. (Now I'm really guessing.) Could be his wife was the trainer. After he died I think Yenda Smaha's wife worked the act.
Jim,
Good stuff, thank you.
Wade
