We went to our first Ringling Bros circus show 2 weeks ago, it is a famous circus which was founded in USA in 1884. Just what one would expect in a circus- animal shows, acrobatics, and etc etc...
Only qualm I had was the way the horses were made to perform, 6 horses are made to run within a circle (clockwise) and they have to change their directions (anti-clockwise) each time the trainer lift his whip. He started off quite slowly but he increased the speed to every 5 seconds, hence the horses have to change their direction every few seconds, one can see that the horses are very disorientated by the rapid change in direction. The horses must have suffered alot during their training to be so responsive to the whip.
Another un-natural act would be the tigers who purred and dance with the animal trainer.
