I’m one of the people who think the Victorian Circus deserves the same fate as the Roman one.
Treating animals as entertainment engines was a welcome step away from getting slaves to slice into giraffes necks and training animals to rape captive girls but the thing about stepping away is it’s a continuing journey.
Potty brained emperors are still in though so maybe we will have endangered species vs monster trucks by the end of the year.
I’d rather have more bread and less circuses.
what they did with the animals at Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey was much more than just step away from getting slaves to slice into giraffes necks and training animals to rape captive girls. The circus, at the one in question wasn’t anywhere near as bad as that stuff. From what I know, they were one of the better circuses when it came to treatment of animals. But I understand that maybe the animal acts had to go. But I would have liked the circus to continue without them.
