That's bullshit! I've been to a few circuses and not one of them has ever had animals in the acts - they're only ever cruel and demeaning to humans. :D

Most circusus over here have animals. The tigers acts are the reason I go. And in all fairness, I think there has only been one act in the about 10 that I have seen where the tigers actualy like the trainer. All the others seemed like the tigers were ready to shred him apart.
A lot of circuses say they don't use fear training. But if you take a look at the predator acts more closely you will often see otherwise. BUT, not every circus does that and not every circus has animals. So PETA has a point to some extend, but totaly blew it with me because generalizing to much.
