Ringling Brothers Circus

Have you ever felt the feeling that you are trapped, mistreated, or a slave to society. In today’s world, millions of animals are feeling this way right now, a feeling no living creature can endure. Animals are living creatures whose sole purpose in life are to survive and thrive. Whose right is it to stop and change that for them. In captivity animals are treated badly, they have the potential to hurt humans, and they weren’t originally supposed to be in captivity in the first place. These beautiful

overwhelmed America with economic crisis ultimately leading to poverty. To attend the circus in the 1930's was a privilege, as television and digital media did not exist around this time and ticket holders were only permitted in. The circus was a rare form of entertainment allowing many to escape from reality, however, In Sarah Gruen's romantic novel Water for Elephants, Marlena, a rebellious showgirl of the circus, displays uncommon characteristics of dominance, brevity and independence for a woman

Imagine being drugged, taken to an unknown place, and being tortured to do actions foreign to your natural behaviour, but knowing it would be much worse if you disobey. That is the life of animals used for entertainment every day. Animals have been used as a means for entertainment for centuries now, not treated with the respect they deserve.

My Mom and Dad took me to New York City to watch the Ringling Brothers circus. After the show, my Father thought it would be a great idea to take me down by the clowns and take a picture of me with them. What ended up happening was, me screaming and crying and ending up with a fear of clowns. Another reason I am afraid

“Roll up! Roll up! Come and see the Ringling Brothers’ Amazing Circus! Watch and gawp at our freak show, the 1000kg woman and the mutant, two headed man, named Salvador! We have men with deformed faces and women with beards! You won’t believe your eyes!” Unethical, immoral travelling ‘freak shows’ such as the Ringling Brothers from the 1800’s now cease to exist in society, thank goodness. The mistreatment of the physically different was an outcry and surely no one would ever consider bringing such

The only constant is change; worlds, genetics, morals, standards, nothing remains as it did a century ago. As environments change, creatures must change with it, and such is humanity. Each age has its inspiring creations, engaging conundrums, and blood curdling horrors. Quite often, the new creations themselves have, what we consider to be, a dark side.

Seaworld’s CEO has also met with the Humane Society president to come to an agreement; Seaworld would “[end] captive breeding, [phase] out circus-like killer whale shows, and [serve] sustainable seafood and other humanely raised meat” and “pledge $50 million to causes including the abolition of commercial

For countless years, animals and humans have always competed for survival on this earth; however, in doing so, the coexistence has created a symbiotic relationship. Because animals were utilized for their meat, skin, fiber, and bones, humans also included animals in their culture, religion, and stories. As long as humans and animals coexist, then so will animals in art. As domesticated animals arose, such as dogs and cats, humans began to view animals not only as a resource or subject of a story
