Animals such as elephants and big cats are taken away from their families and natural habitats to be tortured until they are trained perform for our entertainment. These animals are abused until they fear their trainers and are often kept in unsanitary and unhealthy conditions. Even if some circuses follow guidelines, who are we as humans to force these animals to perform for a few hours of entertainment? Countries such as Mexico, China, and many other European countries (the UK soon to be one of them) have already placed a ban on using animals in circuses. It's about time we join the rest of these countries and hopefully the rest of the world will follow.
