harry hayes Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Wild animals only? The last circus I saw had lovely prancing horses plus Norman Barratt and his very entertining budgies - both quite charming. Â Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I believe the keeper, who was abusing the Elephant was a Rumanian. No doubt if the RSPCA do catch up with him, he'll take them all the way to the ECHR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Does it matter where he came from Obs, You will not have to look very far to see how many animals are abandoned in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 yes - it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I thought this was just a general question Obs until I googled after the rspca was mentioned. Makes no difference to me when the bloke came from as he is just one very nasty individual and someone should kick and hit him with a pitch fork and see how he likes it  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1370967/Anne-elephants-suffering-Whipsnade-zoo-offers-home.html  But in answer to your question 'No...wild animals should NOT be used in circuses' and we don't go to them for that very reason.  Maybe people should boycott them completely and only go to the ones with human entertainers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Why does it matter Obs May I suggest you go to a dogs or cats home and see the state of some of the animals they look after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Some folk shouldn't be allowed to own an animal in the first place, perhaps compulsory classes and a licence might help? But we don't need to add to the cruelty by importing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 The first part of your statement I agree with. The second is your usual crap How do you know that the guy was doing to the elephant what he saw other staff do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Even if he was apeing other staff. that's no excuse - perhaps he needs counselling and a spell on the naughty step, with the elephant sat on him?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 But if he was aping as you say, their goes your importing cruelty argument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yes but WE don't know that HE was - it's just you trying all sorts of avenues to excuse these demics for being here in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yes but we don't he wasn't- its just you trying to blame him because he was a foreign worker  If you had just condemned the act then no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Where he was born is 'mint imperial' he is just an evil 'bedstead' and after serving his sentence should be deported to 'gauno bay'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
