Circus

My hubby took our eldest to the circus on the weekend. She had a blast, in fact they both did but he came back with some interesting information. This particular circus has been banned from certain suburbs because they have animals, now you need to understand something here, by animals I mean horses, dogs and goats. Yep not an elephant or tiger to be seen. So why have they been banned? Because animal rights activists says it’s abuse. What to have dogs jump and frolic in front of people – when I had dogs they liked nothing better. Or is it the horses jumping over things and being ridden. Maybe it’s the goats? No apparently it is the fact they have been trained.
I just don’t get it all these animals are ones we can keep as pets or ones we use for a purpose. Where does the line get drawn? What’s next – race horses, guide dogs, heck I hope you don’t like goats cheese or wool. Soon you won’t even be allowed to have pets because if this legislation continues you won’t be allowed to train anything for any reason. I guess that means the end pet dogs to protect houses from burglars. Oh there goes insurance rates again. And definitely no more pony rides for little girls.
