As for circuses... just like the film, I do not like most circuses because they focus on animals and abusing them or just parading them around as "exotic animals". That's the reason I don't like zoos. But as with zoos - there are those zoos that are there for the animal's interests, not the people, that I agree with it - there are some circuses that I enjoy, but they are not about animals, but about people pushing their limits and doing fantastic acrobatics without an elephant or lion. I do love those ones!Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01781959248553850723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-17363806828258630842016-03-12T15:34:07.152+01:002016-03-12T15:34:07.152+01:00and people are lazy to the point of cruelty :/and people are lazy to the point of cruelty :/Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-47038215615963360102016-03-12T01:07:40.574+01:002016-03-12T01:07:40.574+01:00I read the book and loved it.

I think anytime animals are used in a film, there'll always be obvious and not so obvious abuse in the set, because, heck. They don't belong in the set. You know what I mean? They belong in the wild.
