Question

public performance by animals should be banned

Answer 1

Animals that are used for entertainment often endure many hours of long distance travelling in small confined cages with no climate controls, sleeping, eating, etc. Although some says that the animals get to stretch out after the trip, which is not generally the case. The animals must be contained prior to the start of the performance. Virtually 96 % of their lives are spent in chains or cages. These animals are also trained using extreme discipline such as whipping, hitting, poking and shocking with electrical prods. Many times the animals used in circuses are injured and are killed when they are no more useful.
