Last week a circus worker at a circus based in cork was seriously injured when a Indian Elephant accidently fell upon him. I look at how in the 21st century using wild animals for entertainment ishumane and should not be acceptable. Is there any place for Circuses in the 21st century? |

the circus was my favourite place,so were zoos and fur shops, but the truth is they are all cruel and insane things. This is not the first time animals have escaped from circuss.
