Think about the animal
While I agree with the sentiment of those who are against circuses with animals, what happens to the people who make their living from this?
And what happens to the animals (they have all had regular human contact) - do they end up in a zoo or slaughtered? Will the towns which ban them give financial support so circus workers can make the transition and animals can live out the remainder of their lives?
