Okay, today I am going to write about a topic that I am passionate about. Anytime that I present this topic on my Facebook page, or in conversation, a vast battle begins! I find it quite heated, but I am "all in!"
This topic is the circus. Most parents choose to be naive, because the part about it being a child's place weighs heavily on the shoulders of either mom or dad.
We nearly feel that it is a necessity to bring our child to that great big tent, with acrobats & animal stunts. I experienced the thrill of a circus as a child, and walked away with a great big smile. What parent does not want that for her kid? I can honestly say, that I understand that. I would gladly take my children to a circus, if it was a tent filled with human acrobats. Clowns, the high wire, and popcorn.
There is no need for wild cats to jump through rings of fire, or elephants to perform stunts. I believe that any living thing deserves respect. Human beings do not have the right to remove them from their natural environment to make money off of them by beating them to entertain. TRUTH: Circuses are the most affordable form of entertainment allowing humans to experience a wild animal. If prices were to raise, then it is possible that they would lose revenue and return animals to a safe haven. An animal sanctuary where they can live a stress-free life.
