I'm with ya on the circuses. They are geared a lot more around entertainment and not so much on animal well being. I'm glad some of them are accredited by animal agencies, but I can't say I was too upset (or surprised) to see that a lot of them are shutting down.

Glad I could shed some light on zoo shows! I think they are great programs, but I wish more facilities explained exactly what they were doing and why. It would demonstrate that these actions aren't just a form of entertainment, but an important part of their routine care!
