This is a touchy subject for many folks out there, but I am mentioning it because the circus is back in my town. Now, I think we are all aware of the fact that the animals in the circus are not treated very well. In fact, many would call it downright abusive, especially since the animals do not have a choice. I lean more toward the obvious abuse that occurs as the animals endure cramped conditions, long road trips that last all year, and hour after hour of grueling training. Plus, many are beaten into submission, much like slaves are. I am hoping that many will start to realize that there are, really, better things we can be spending our hard-earned money on! Picnics, hikes, movies...why, there are even circuses that do not have ANY animals at all. It might be a tradition for some, but it's a miserable life for others. I have not supported the circus for many years, and do not plan on ever starting to. Please reconsider your trip to the circus this year and look at it as another step toward a more compassionate existence! You don't even have to talk to your kids or relatives about it if you don't want to, just don't go. Try this link for more information:
