Well, I'm gonna say it...I greatly dislike circuses, unless they're human-only (hello, Cirque du Soleil!). If folks really want a more traditional circus experience, I'd recommend something like the Big Apple Circus, which only works with domesticated horses and dogs, Otherwise, there's just too much animal abuse in today's circus circuit for me to want to support any of them. (I'm especially looking at you Barnum & Bailey: Do better, do better. Don't abuse to your elephants or anyone else for that matter.)...*gets toppled off soapbox....
Um, here's my circus entry. Enjoy...
