Question

describe the experience of the Circus tiger in the Marketplace​

Answer 1

For young children, the circus is a magical place. For many individuals, it’s a place to see andexperience wild animals first hand. Under the facade of harmless family entertainment, patrons are unaware of what it takes to coerce these animals into performing the elaborate tricks they see before them, and the level of abuse these animals endure when the circus tents come down.

Tigers are such a common staple in any big circus that most people do not realize that these big cats are highly endangered in the wild. In fact, there are currently more tigers in captivity in the U.S. than there are left in their native habitat. While some might think that keeping tigers in circuses is a good way to preserve the tiger population, this is hardly the case. First and foremost, circuses do not even attempt to replicate the tiger’s natural environment and do not have the space available to allow these cats to exhibit any of their wild behaviors. And any tigers that are bred in captivity to stock circuses can never be released into the wild. So really, circuses do very little to protect the tiger species and contribute terribly to their removal from the wild and exploitation.
