Animals in circus

Is it normal for a bear to dance in a ball?, for an elephant to keep her weight in two legs?, or for a tiger
jump through a ring of fire?, this is considered the worst feat that the animals have, actually we don’t
realize it, circuses would quickly lose their appeal if more people knew about the cruel methods used
to train the animals, instead, the circus makes us think that all of this methods are natural for them
and they ‘’no suffer at all’’, at least this is what they said when they’re accused of mistreating this
animals. Circus like Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus all of them are so hypocrites because
they deny about what is evident, the abuse and the mistreating of the animals that they trap.
According to PETA, thousand of these animals are used to perform silly, confusing tricks under the
threat of physical punishment; are carted across the country in cramped and stuffy boxcars or semi-
truck trailers; are kept chained or caged in barren, boring and filthy enclosures and are separated
from their families, and all this suffer, all this pain, it’s for the sake of human ‘’entertainment’’, even
many of these animals pay with their lives.

The tricks that animals are forced to perform such as when bears balance on balls, apes ride
motorcycles, and elephants stand on two legs are physically uncomfortable and behaviorally
unnatural. The whips, tight collars, muzzles, electric prods, bullhooks, and other tools used during
circus acts are reminders that the animals are being forced to perform. These “performances” teach
audiences nothing about how animals behave under normal circumstances, they are being removed
from their habitat, they don’t deserve that. Wild animals are meant to live free, they have every right to
live their lives in freedom in their homeland, they haven’t committed any crime that justifies their
imprisonment for life, their mistreatment, and their humiliation during the shows. Some circuses have
chosen not to use animals: Australians "the Flying Fruit," the Canadian "Cirque du Soleil", the French
"Les Colporteurs" Americans "Minimus", "Nuage", "Hiccup" and many others, using the talent of the
jugglers, trapeze artists, clowns, comedians, mimes, contortionists. This is the way to go, the only
civilian.
