I hate the clowns!

I have only been to a circus once in my life, and that was in Venezuela as a little boy. I hated its surreal environment... and specially the stupid clowns (they were not funny).

Not that this is much of an opinion, but I just had to get that out of my chest... smile

Thanks! I feel much better now.

I don't go to the circus that much - and i never go to ones which have animals - but having said that i know it's a very big generalisation to say that they are all kept in poor, cruel conditions

I HATE the circuses that use animals!!! They're kept in cramped cages wen they're not practicing or performing, that's especially bad 4 the big 1's. I don't even think that they care about the animals. How they feel if they had to do what hey do. Not a very atractive lifestyle. that's the reason i'll never go to 1 like that. I don't mind the circus's without animals some of them are actually quite good such as Cirque de Solei ( it's spelt something like that)

It is true that most circuses that use animals maltreat them but it is not the same everywhere.Even some of them knoww that u can get an animal to love u more and do what u want it to through pstting than through manhandling.I think its okay for animals to be used in circuces cos its all part of the fun.
