I can't say that I've ever seen any animal cruelty in a circus and what some people think they've seen might be no more cruelty than someone's roughhouse play with their pet dog. Nature is probably far crueler to animals than captivity is.<br /><br />But that's just my view on this. I haven't done any research into the subject so I'm not going to claim anything near expert status.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-38496025113005057482015-05-20T21:41:37.984-07:002015-05-20T21:41:37.984-07:00I haven't seen this, but it sounds like it wou...I haven't seen this, but it sounds like it would be interesting. I don't do circuses because of animal treatment I saw at the one I went to as a child. I realize it's probably (hopefully) better now, but it's something that's stuck with me, and I just can't bring myself to go when the circus is in town.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-73997601108152417332015-05-20T12:36:16.790-07:002015-05-20T12:36:16.790-07:00The Burt Lancaster movie was 'Gypsy Moths.'...The Burt Lancaster movie was 'Gypsy Moths.'Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-569121147275044502015-05-20T08:55:26.269-07:002015-05-20T08:55:26.269-07:00Beverly, it's fun old school entertainment.

Right now I'm reading Geek Love, a novel by Katherine Dunn about a tight circus family who breed freaks and the hijinks that ensue. Quite a weird novel ,but one of the best I've read. The Night Circus was pretty good, too, but Geek Love seems more in the vein of this movie. nice choice.
