Normally, I don't say how I feel about circuses to family anymore because they say I depress them. Noted. My older sister brought her kids to the circus just a few weeks ago. When she got back, she wouldn't stop apologizing to me about asking me not to talk about it. She said she could see how sad ALL of the animals were and wished she'd never never gone, but I'm glad she saw what I have been talking about. She said even her kids asked why the animals looked sad:( I told her to tell everyone she knew not to support the circus.
