Recently I took my kids to a circus and had to explain why people were protesting at the gates. Honestly, I'm fairly neutral on the issue because quite frankly, we have much bigger fish to fry right now. Still, I'm interested in your take. I wasn't bothered by the Lions or Elephants performing their acts, but suprisingly, the horses bothered me a bit. (Hmmm...Horses, Kelly?) The act consisted of riders forcing the horses to run flat out in a tight circle while they flipped all around the horses' body. Realize that I attended this circus two weeks after the marathon and all I could think of how hard it is on my knees to run indoor track, let alone all out sprinting in the same direction. Perhaps some horse people here can allay my concerns?
Anyway, what are your feelings on the circus? I have to say that while I have traveled extensively through several Latin countries, I have specifically choosen NEVER to see a bullfight. I mean no disrespect to the Hispanic culture, it just doesn't seem right to me.
