some people keep birds in cages and force them to learn tricks
@NostalgicChills Seriously? You’re comparing caged domesticated birds to tigers & lions in cages?
First, we could start by comparing the size of the animal to the size of the cage.
Next, we could compare the nature of the animal…the desire/hard wiring of their brains…
Or we could come to the realization that those domesticated animals have (usually) one stable home that they are able to remain in without an audience or the need to actually do tricks to get food.
Does cruelty still exist? Well, according to a more credible source than PETA, it does And in most places it’s legal
The animals are still trained with hooks, tie downs, and whips. In many cases the circus rents the animals from brokers, then when the animal is no longer “of use”, the animal is given back to the broker…the broker then decides who to sell the animal to: a lab for testing, or worse.
Here are some Circus Myths for you to ponder over.
