Essay / Zoos and Animal Rights: The Ethics of Keeping Animals
They are forced to resort to their tricks and crammed into tiny places. The Ringling Bros. and the Barnum & Bailey Circus. are proud of the distance they travel, which can be fun, except for the part the animals cross, they are locked in a cage where they might, if they are lucky, turn around (Circuses, 2015). The animals are forced or beaten to do their tricks. Many animals are wiped down to know when they are supposed to perform or simply when they are not cooperating. They do not receive the encouragement or love necessary to receive proper care. Circus animals are not properly fed or given the food they need to survive. This is important because it explains the conditions animals are subjected to just to make us laugh. They're going through a lot and people should realize that when they ask for the circus to come to town. They can be fun if done correctly, but the ones without animals should be.
