Circusses, are you a fan of or are you against?

[Nicky91]

is a interesting topic for debate here i think, considering some circusses had faced some controversy



but are you a fan of circus entertainment?

[Nicky91]

for me, yes i am a fan, but mainly of the Roncalli circus i guess, i have loads of respect for them not using real animals, and being the first in using holographic animals instead


but i guess Casselly circus also is quite nice (even though real elephants are used) and i like their shows in Monaco, which are shown on tv here every christmas (second christmas day/boxing day)



loved the circus in my nation too, am a HUGE fan of clown/acrobat act Bassie & Adriaan, quite a national treasure here for children's tv with their series and films

as well as circus director Robert Ronday, whom used to be a judge on our version of got talent

They can do them with People

The circuses here don't have animals anymore, they're still entertaining though

I remember as a kid going to a circus in Glasgow to see the famous Lion tamer Claude Balzac.

Without animals okay.
Not really something I'd go to however now.

When I was about 10 years old .. I was taken to see the circus at the top of Blackpool Tower - near the end of the show thousands of gallons of water was pumped into the stage and I seem to recall seeing a penguins performance and some other water based critters …. BUT then my wonderment changed to horror as all could think about was all that water and all the electric lights / slot machines directly underneath the stage !!!

Depends.

Animals, no fecking way.

Humans, yes I enjoy a show depending.

Funny you did this thread as I was watching circus acts gone wrong on YouTube yesterday, people literally falling to their deaths

[GoldHeart]

Seen as I've only ever gone to circuses in the UK, they're good & fine . There's no animals and no cruelty :shrug:.

It's usually very entertaining , with everything from acrobats to swimmers to trapeze artists etc .

[AnnieK]

Not for me - don't like clowns, don't like any animal related acts, not keen on anyone risking their lives for the sake of entertainment.

[Vanessa]

Yes, I love it. The daredevil acts are my favourites!

[Kazanne]

As long as no animals are involved thats ok with me.
