Every other circus--big or little--every fair and carnival--big or little--needs to eliminate wild animals performing tricks or serving as rides for those who pay a few dollars to go around in circles. Circus animals are not needed as an attraction. Cirque du Soleil, for example, presents an exciting show to millions every year, and doesn't use animals.
Let other circuses and
fairs follow that example, and let us
hope that more countries ban trophy hunters from the slaughter of big game
animals.
