The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Since the beggining of friday, the circus as settled on a big terrain behind my house.
They are only here for this week-end, I always liked the circus, but unfortunalety, during this time, I had to study and I could't go, and just like 10m ago, they started singing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from Lion King, and I just thought "awwww, that could be me aplauding :p  <_<  :( ) ", it was probably amazing, and me stuck here studing, well, there's probably next year...
This just gave me a big Anxiety to go watch Lion king  :^.^:

How about you guys, do you like the Circus?

Haven't been to a circus show in years (and i do mean years when I say that! :p ).  I'd assume I'd still like them, but things change as you do.  I'm all for supporting people good at what they do...if they were good, I'd applaud for sure.

Last time I went to a circus I was like five or six years old. Somehow I never got around to go to a circus again even though I like them IF it is ensured that no cruel methods on animals (or people for that matter) are used to realize the show.

Same with me.  I will not attend a circus unless there is proof the animals are bein' treated humanely.  I saw a sad documentary on circus elephants last year, and I could never look at the circus the same after that :cry.  I have not been to the circus since I was a little kid, and now I'm discouraged from attending unless I know the animals are treated right.  If I ever have kids, I will not take them unless, again, I know the animals are treated humanely.  If the circus only featured human stunts and was free of any animal activity or stunts, I would feel more comfortable attending the circus.

I never liked circuses myself. :p I don't think clowns are funny at all. They used to scare me when I was a kid....and they kind of still do now... :p

I sometimes go to Circus de Soleil, it's just a place full of performers and NO animals. So there's absolutely NO way for animals to be mistreated.

I haven't heard of any circuses that DIDN'T treat their animals cruelly. If anyone can show me something where animals have been treated well in circuses, I would be happy. :yes

I've also seen Cavalia, but that's not really a circus. Still it's a BEAUTIFUL show with people and horses and the horses really don't seem to be mistreated at all. ^^

Last time I went to a circus I was seven or eight.  Although there is a advertisment currently for Circus Monte around here...I'd doubt we will see it as we've grown out of it.  Whilst there are some circuses that don't mistreat their animals, the animals are better off in their own habitat without preforming tricks for people's entertainment.
