gave me a HUGE headache.

I went to the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Best part : Tiger cage act.

Wost Part : When one of the elephants s**t on the floor. I laughed at first, then once I caught a wiff...I wanted to BARF. gonk

Most Annoying : The Ringmasters horrible singing.

The show was pretty cool overall. 3nodding

I don't think I've been to their show since I was about 8 or so. NEVER get their snowcones. They're surprisingly bland.

I went when I was little. My brother and I both got these white plastic cups. Mine had an elephant on it and his had a tiger on it. The trunk and the tail formed the cup handles. We still have them - I think. Unless we had to toss them out cause someone left juice in them for a month and they got too disgusting. The color eventually wore off the elephant and the tiger and the only way you could tell that they were an elephant and a tiger was because they were slightly raised.

I saw a video of an elephant trainer teaching potential trainers, apparently they use hooks and whips. I cried. Now, I don't like the circus.

I felt the same way.

When I went, they used whips.

The trainers didn't whip the animals, though, they hit the ground.

The noise keeps the animals in line.

Before I went inside the arena, I saw protesters protesting animal cruelty.

During the show, the hosts proved that the circus trainers take very good care of their animals. A series of veterinarians travel with the animals to keep them healthy and safe.

I felt a little better about it afterward.

I still have one of my cups, too. Mine's got a clown head on it, though.

Going to that was what caused me to hate things like that. Mainly because of the tigers. I cried.
I'm hoping they really do take good care of the animals, though.
