Why Dont Circuses Stop Using Animals?
I love many parts of the circus. I love the amazing acrobats, dazzling theatrics and junky food. However the animal part of the circus has always disturbed me. I hate how they abuse animals and make them do these awful tricks. The fact that circuses still use animals today seems completely unecessary to me because their are many other more natural ways to see exotic animals today and seeing them looking depressed while they are harmed and humiliated is not fun compared to seeing them in a zoo which is more natural. I mean I dont think people enjoy the animal part of the circus they go to see the acrobats. So why dont circuses stop using animals in their shows? I mean it would benifit them since they would stop being portrayed as such a bad guy and more people would go? Its not like people would stop going since their are no animals?

they are part of nature and must have been created for some purpose, but their only function seems to be as an irritant to humans and other creatures. I am an animal lover and am not looking for an ethical debate about this, I simply find myself wondering: what IS the purpose of a fleas existence? What do they do that is actually good? Anything?

If cavemen can do it with wolves, what's so hard about us doing it to foxes?
I mean honestly.
I've heard of random people breeding foxes.
But they're still considered wild animals.
Especially by laws and such.
How come we haven't successfully domesticated foxes yet?
You would think it would have a much higher priority than it currently does.

Am I the only one who dreams of this?
