Lol @ circus chick. This is not going to end well for you.
Guess jokes on you if you think I care "how it ends". If enjoying the circus makes me an asshole parent, a) people really need to redefine their definitions of asshole parenting, and trust me, I've seen it and b)ill wave my "asshole flag" and eat my popcorn and peanuts too

Using wild animals for entertainment? In awful living conditions?
I guess I'm a circus snob. I only go to Barnum and Bailey and I believe they are known for taking excellent care of their animals.
I don't think snob means what you think it means. B&B is the worst offender.
Circus Vargas is actually the best of the conventional zoos about animal treatment, but even CV is not optimal and we won't take our future children (or ourselves) anywhere besides Cirque de Soleil.
Elephants are incredibly intelligent and incredibly social animals. No one that knows anything about animals would believe that their treatment in circuses is humane. Just because a circus doesn't beat the shit out of them on the regular doesn't mean they are well cared for and happy.
I love zoos, but only ones that are habitat based and create environments where the animals thrive. Like the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park. Holy hell *I* would live in one of those habitats.
Wait, are we saying that McDonald's is unacceptable because they don't treat their chickens right?
Do you vet all restaurants' sources of meat before eating there or something?
We do. My husband is an animal right's lawyer - specializing in elephants and suing circuses! - so yeah, we pretty much toe the ethical line there. I will admit to sneaking McDonald's French Fries (and feeling like a hypocrite the whole time) but we really don't eat animal products unless we have a reasonable understanding of how the animal has been treated. My husband is far stricter about this than I am but I do believe in the work he does and try to be supportive of him.
She does this on CEP too. Randomly drops an opinion that is patently uninformed and/or poorly thought out, then is all la-di-da, I'm not arguing anymore, I don't care, and leaves the post.
Wow, you must think you're some kind of profiler or something. Yeah, you got me pegged
Yeah, anyone who's different than you= full of it, right?
You have not given one valid reason for your opinion, that is why you are full of it. If you can somehow prove that circus animals love their lives and all those fines paid were just mistakes, then fine. Until then, it is not a different opinion. It is a full out wrong one.
