Truth be told, there is no circus animal who wakes up in the morning and declares to all that she wants to stand on her front legs, balance on a ball, or perform in a conga line... An animal's performance of an act that is inherently unnatural to her comes from a mentality like, " I'll do what you command. Just don't beat me." Anyone who pays for a ticket at the circus is part of this cruelty. Entertain yourselves in some other way than watching animals perform tricks.
