Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus

To Applaud At Ringling Bros. Circus: Its Closure”, by Amy B. Wang and published by The Washington Post is about Ringling Brothers and Bailey Circus coming to an end. It shows that animal rights groups have strong emotions towards abusing animals for entertainment. Shortly after Feld Entertainment (A production company and owner of Ringling Brothers and Bailey Circus) stopped using elephants but shortly after Ringling Brothers announced their permanent leave from the circus. Ringling Brothers spent

I believe the circus shut down due to animal rights. Don’t believe all that you have heard, animals who are kept at the circus aren’t being treated properly. The employees’ aren’t giving them the care they deserve. They’re locked up in cages for the most part. It is cruel how they’re treated. The circuses do claim they take well care of animals, but is this really what we should call ‘’well taken care of’’ or should it really just be considered torture? Now, the animals may be fed and bathed

Thousands of circus animals around the world are abused every day. Their cries for mercy cannot be heard by the people due to the fact that animals do not speak human languages. People go to circuses and are amazed by the tricks and routines that the Animals perform. But in actuality, the animals are not doing the tricks for their pleasure, they are intimidated into doing the ring leaders commands. The animals are frightened and forced to obey because the animals are trained to understand that disobeying

make the entire concept of the circus, which is to preform unnatural death defying acts as morally wrong, and an unnatural abomination that breeds an abusive environment; since most performances are composed of conscious actions practiced over time rather than reflexive responses. On the opposite side of the argument many circus performers describe the circus, and talk about the circus’s recent disbandment as if losing Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus is destroying their culture and

relief before jolting awake. Thanking our anonymous friend, I handed him the hose as we all ran back to our silver carriage, waving as we pulled away. I’ve often wondered what he thought about that day. Did he tell the story about the time the circus train stopped at his house to have a water party? The show arrived in Huntsville and once the train was separated into several sections in the train yard, unloading began. Like a well-rehearsed play, flat cars were emptied of their trailers,

The path that led me to writing this story about the plight of the Kerala Elephants started when weeks ago I was graciously asked to join a Facebook group, appropriately named "Animal Activists." The next brick in my path was laid by Lisa Fay Wind-Roloff a well meaning member of this group. She sent me a picture of an abused elephants being held in Kerala, India. The path became even clearer as I delved deeper into my research on the agony and torture the Kerala Elephants are suffering at this

circuses have dropped animal shows from circus programs, to model choreographed shows such as Cirque de Soleil. But, some companies as Ringling, Universoul and Carson & Barnes continue to use elephants. Ballet and live theatre is another phenomenal that circuses are changing to retain diversity in the entertainment market. The most popular of these shows, Cirque du Soleil, describes itself as “based on a totally new concept: a striking, dramatic mix of the circus arts, street entertainment, featuring

Circus animal abuse is, unfortunately, quite the common occurrence. Many people go to the circus because all they see are good and fun times. There are quite a number of things that people don't know about the circus, and here are some of them. Stay tuned for part 2, which will be here soon. Number Fifteen: Circus Animal Abuse Comes in Many Forms Animal trainers use lots of tools in order to train their animals, and really none of them are kosher.

It makes sense to give people a glimpse into the animal world once in awhile, maybe even in hope to slow down the risk of endangerment. What doesn’t make sense and is not in any way reasonable are the use of circus animals. The reason circus animals came to be is that zookeepers realized what a drive people have to see exotic animals. They realized how much money people would pay just to see an exotic animal in a cage, then imagined what they could earn by making them perform

The circus is one of a classic image, elephants lumbering trunk to tail. But is this docility born of positive reinforcement, or the fear of being beaten? When the yearly circus comes to town, it has but one thing in mind, entertainment. Both the stunts of animals and humans alike are mesmerizing and capture the audience's attention. Spectator’s become amazed at the miraculous accomplishments of the animals, and they are willing to pay mass amounts of money to see wild animals outside of their natural
