Circus
A total rip off. Printed off coupon from Cole Bros. website and when we got to the circus they would not honor the coupons. Of course you can not leave when your kids are all excited. I will never go back.
circus
It's like my Dad used to say, "you seen one you've seen them all." Down town Wilmington is a circus in it's self. lol !
are u really serious
Are you guys really complaining about animal cruelity?? This is crazy. So are the dolphins and whales at Sea World mistreated too? Those animals are probaly the luckiest animals in the world. They are served good food and kept in great shelters and doctors are sure to check them out every now and then. Your post makes no sense. I am sure they have to yell at them or hit them to train them but I am sure you do the same thing to your dog or cat.
Haha wow
Its dumb people like you that go to circuses. But let me beat you with a metal bullhook the same that they use on elephants to train them and lets see how you like it. And there are ways to train animals without hurting them. And great shelter? Hahaha elephants are supposed to walk up ti 30 miles away like they would in the wild and being chained up for days at a time is really great shelter. Go chain yourself in a cage that you can't even move around in. Grow up and learn the dang truth.
Circuses are cruel to animals
How stupid are you people? Taking an animal away from its home, whipping it and thinking it's enjoying itself! Well why don't we take you away from your home, lock you up in a cell and beat you to you bleed. Animals are alive to, and it's is not entertaining to see them jump through hopes and dance when the people who are watching the show actually care that the animals are enjoying it themselves.
Thankyou, atleast you have a
Thankyou, atleast you have a brain AND a heart. Some people like "It's ok to hit animals to train them" up there seems to have neither!
Animal Cruelty
Your ignorance on the entire subject of the circus and animal cruelty is quite disgusting. It shows just how easily society is beat into a terrible trans of accepting horrific acts. Exotic animals are taken from their natural wild habitat at birth and forced into a lack of proper diet, and vetenary attention. They are mentally distraught from losing their mothers, and will never be able to live in the wild. They are forced to do nearly impossible tasks for the entertainment of ignorant bastards, such as yourself. If they can't complete these tasks, they are prodded with electric shocks, whipped to bleeding point, and beaten brutally with bats and chains. Is it right that an infant be taken from his/her mother from birth, and thus forced to perform unnatural tasks for the purpose of profit for greedy people? Your way of reason and over all logic is lacking any intelligence, and people such as yourself should look into subjects before making false, and embarrassing comments.
I took my child to see this
I took my child to see this circus what a mistake at Sea World the animals were given positive re enforcement in the means of whistles and snacks these poor tigers were being whipped not the ground being whipped the tigers were they were being abused right in front of me I have been to circus's before and never saw such a thing whats worse it is run by a bunch of illegals I would have to guess We walked out those poor animals with there ears back and hissing I was praying the whole time that the trainer would be eaten alive would serve him right
Seriously
You really do need to educate yourself. You say circus animals are the luckiest animals in the world? Okay, so we will take you out of your natural environment, place you in a jail cell, serve you food, allow you to see doctors if health issues become really bad and we'll then say you're the luckiest person in the world.
Oh and if you want to go exercise or socialize with other people, we'll yell at you and hit you because you're not supposed to do that.
I can't believe how ignorant some people STILL ARE even with all the resources available via the internet. It's such a shame.
yes, it is serious
You need to educate yourself.
Cruelty Capital, USA
Anyone who thinks going to a Circus is fun needs to have their brains checked.
It's pure torture for all the animals.
Check out my blog, or google Phoenix Aquua, and Cruelty USA
Absolutely ignorant people go watch animals treated badly.
Fundamentally!
"Free Ticket" is misleading
I am a protester

G-strong
Hey, whats wrong with the women in the g-strings. That is the best part of the whole cirus
Definitely Depends on the Circus
If you go to those cheesy yellow and red circuses like Cole brothers and Carson Barnes I would definitely see your problem. When we use to beg our mom to take us to the free coupon circus like Cole brothers she said that is was cheap and if we went we would be at Ringling Brothers. They do a lot of silk acts and there is a guy on the high wire with a motorcycle and a girl swinging underneath. Then they had these acrobats on these bouncy toys who bounced up and created a 12 or so person pyramid. Of course due to the treatment of animals I stick to Big Apple Circus where elephants are farm raised and bred, Cirque de Soleil , and Zoppé the family owned Italian circus.
CIRCUS!
The circus is fun????
Who's going to protest the circus
