They Might Be Curly Giants!

I’ve never liked the circus. For all the excitement of the acrobats and the trapeze acts (which I do enjoy), I think it’s just sick the way the animals are made to perform for our amusement no matter how ‘humane’ they are treated.

I’ve been to a couple of circuses and I’ve always cringed when it comes to the animal performances.

Well, this article affirms my dislike for circus performing animals.

A lion being made to balance on a horse’s back while it’s running around the enclosure? That’s just ridiculous. How would you like it if a crazed lunatic jumps on your back and orders you to run around, otherwise he’ll slit your throat?

I can just imagine how terrified the horse must feel having two huge carnivourous animals on it’s back - sharp teeth, claws and all.
