   I was so surprised at how intertaining the show was. Great job! Each and every member did a great job!

   you are incorrect on the way circus pages treats their animals. The USDA has cited Circus Pages 16 times for animal cruelty, including citations for cruel enclosures, inadequate vet care, failure to provide shelter, cages in such need of repair that they caused a danger to the animals, cages so small that the animals couldn't even stand up, a chain on an elephants neck that was so tight it couldn't stand up.... the list goes on and on. This circus is just as cruel to their animals as all of the rest!!!!

   Jasmine is right. Circus Pages has come into my town several times and their poor animals are left standing on hot asphalt in a parking lot for hours with no shelter! It makes me sick everytime they show up with those poor animals. Exotic animals are not meant for being transported all over the place in hot cramped trailers. everytime you spend money on this circus you are supporting the misery of these animals. Go to www.circuses.com for a list of all teh USDA violations this circus has had. Don't support cruelty!

   The above two posts are correct, and not only has the USDA seen it, but I have too.

   I was unfortunate enough to be 'backstage' where most of the animals were kept in trailers behind the scenes. I turned the corner at an inopportune time, and saw one of the lead men, a tall guy with black feathered hair, hitting an elephant with a broom handle. He kept drawing the broom back over his own head, and coming down HARD on the elephant's head. The elephant was trying to duck away and making these awful noises. I'll never forget it.

   As soon as he saw me, of course he stopped and disappeared. I never saw him again, as I left without even seeing the show or requesting a refund. I should have. I should have demanded my money back and told them why, but I'm sure they would have come up with some 'excuse.'

   Leaving, I saw something else horrific. They had two camels chained to a semi trailer, with no chance of shade. The camels stood, and the chains went from their heads to the trailer, with absolutely NO way for them to lay down. The chain was too short to permit them to move more than a few inches, and all they could do was stand. I stood and watched them for a little while. They just seemed so uncomfortable. I left, and the image of them stayed in my head. I returned aobut 25 minutes later and there they were, in the exact same position. Who KNOWS how long they'd been there already or how long they stayed like that that day. It was about 88 degrees and hot as heck. Sure camels are used to the heat, but it was humid as all get out, and EVERYONE likes to be able to sit DOWN if they need to. Those poor camels.... that poor elephant.

   I will never go to the circus again.

   PETA (posting empty truths anywhere). Yes animal cruelty cruelty does exist. But so does human cruelty. If it were not for the exibition of the exotic. Most would never expierence what the world has to enjoy. I personnaly have expierenced the visits by the vets. and know that these animals are treated better than some of you even treat your peer's. No elephants on this show are chained by the neck to detain or control them. The ankle's are generally the only part of the elephant that are used to secure them. This is a safety measure not only for the people but also the animals. The Pages circus did not take these two out of the wild. The winter quarter's for these animals are imaculate and offer both protection and solitude. And most importantly you need to stop lying. The transfer cage's do alow the lion's and tiger's to stand naturally on all 4s not upright like a human. Stop LYING and find something more useful to do. For example, Go to Arkansas and adopt a child that has been abandonded by thier parent's. Go to your local shelter and feed or spend time visiting with the homeless and helpless. And i don't mean the animal shelter neither. Go after Monsanto for genetically changeing our crops. You will never stop the exibition of animals. Wait i know what you can do. How about those animal lover's that are soulfully sick, and have intiment relations with their animals or do you like that kind of sick shit? Enopugh said

   you can say what you want to defend them...the citations are on record with the USDA

   Yeah! (Thanks Kat!)

   Shannon: Did I say I was with Peta? NO. Did I say I supported them? No AGAIN. Did I even mention their name? Nope!

   I said I was AT the circus. Try to pay attention!
