The most backward, primitive and uncivilized entertainment.
Talk about the lives of thousands of animals? About circuses and dolphinariums?
Circus tricks are UNNatural for a wild animal, therefore, of their own free will, simply for a treat, it will NEVER make them.
For example:
In order for the bear to dance “Kalinka” in a funny way, they put it on a metal surface, turn on the music and heat the iron to an unbearable temperature. In order not to burn his paws, the bear has to step over. Reflex is reinforced by not one such lesson. Bears are not very obedient creatures, so they are most often battered by tamers.
Little elephants have been abused since childhood.
Stick with a hook. During the performance in the circus, the hook is masked with a fringe, but the elephant knows that while this stick is in the hands of the tamer, he has power over it. The trainer hits this hook in particularly sensitive places.
Horses that stand and walk on their hind legs are trained by a stun gun.
Tigers jumping over a burning hoop, bears on a bicycle, ice skates. A bunch of examples.
Hunger and fear are the only motivation for a wild beast to obey.
I am scared to see how animals are transported (in the cheapest way), in what conditions they are.
In the 17th year, in winter, dolphins from the Leningrad Dolphinarium were transported from a tour in China, and as a result of the accident, dolphins spent several hours in the snow in five-degree frost. Very often dolphins and beluga whales die due to terrible conditions.
Have you seen animals for photographs, lion cubs, monkeys, etc. on the Black Sea coast? All day they are dragged in their arms in a 30 degree heat. Where do these animals come from? Where do they buy them? Of course, those who acquire them say that they were saved, that the lioness died, the cubs would not have survived, but who killed her? And for what?
To sell some rare animal to the circus and others, poachers kill their mothers and take their cubs. Training begins in childhood and most of the other lives do not know.
WHERE THERE IS DEMAND, THERE IS AN OFFER.
At the moment, in Russia in the State Duma there is a bill that prohibits traveling circuses. By the way, parliament has been considering it since 2010
