Would you go to a circus?

[mekia]

No, not if it involves animals.

[miso]

I didn't even know circuses still existed.

[sonrisa]

Do most circuses involve animals these days? The few I've been too in the last 20 years were just people. Sometimes really low rent family affairs, sometimes nicer. But no animals.

[jigsy]

No. It sounds full of nightmares. Poor treatment of animals. Clowns. Forced merriment. Just no.

I am legit petrified of elephants. Sooooo NOPE.

[frkls]

We dont do the circus

[mekia]

It was at a circus when I discovered my hatred of cotton candy. I ate some, but decided I didn't like it. My hands were so sticky and dad wouldn't let me go to the bathroom to wash my hands because it was so crowded.

[karmasabiotch]

No. Clowns are creepy and they abuse animals. Not the clowns, the owners.

[nannersp]

Nope, not one with animals.

We have and will do Cirque du Soleil, but that's the extent of it.

[trafficgirl]

I hate clowns, so no.

But also I wouldn't go to one with animals because of the treatment of the animals.

[orangello]

Cirque du Soleil? Yes. Ringling or its ilk? NO.

[Deleted]

Fuck
No

[somersault72]

No because of the treatment of the animals.

[jlt19]

Nope. And sadly we have a few come to town every year.

It's Ringling brothers so there are definitely animals.

Then no, I absolutely would not go. And no, you're not weird, your mother just has an outdated attitude.

I've been to one circus in my life(I was a teenager), and I don't even remember animals. Maybe they had goats? I dunno, it was at the fair in the rinky dink town next door. I do remember they had the hairy men.

That is not a circus.

That is a bunch of fucking weird bendy people that is expensive and puts me to sleep.

[lizard1131]

No! We went a few years ago, and wound up leaving. I can't even figure out why we went in the first place. Makes me sick we have them money.

[birdistheword]

Nope. For same reasons as people above - treatment of animals.

[erbear]

Nope. Well, we do the circus with people (acrobats and the like) but never with animals. 

[cbwm1]

Nope. Some friends tried to get us to go recently and we said no. When they pressed, I told them it was because of the treatment of animals and they had no clue.

[mom2twoboys]

Nope!

[Deleted]

No. Not if animals were involved. 

[copperboom]

No way.

[Deleted]

Absolutely not.

[PeonyParty]

NOPE! Please show your mom all of the preceding answers.

[pandorica]

Definitely would not.

[Alwaysabridesmaidf]

No.

[meowmaps]

No because of the ill treatment of animals.
