vino I agree with you on the circus, but I believe that one doesn't use animals. There are several out there that are animal free. It's more of acts like juggling, clowns, tight rope, etc.

Cheshie6 H isn't anywhere near crawling. M didn't crawl until she was 8.5 months old.

Ewww to the circus, just no to watching animals being forced to entertain. Gross. #sorrynotsorry It's not that type of circus! No animals at all unless you include the kids (jk). It's a kids run circus, so they are the clowns, acrobats, they design their costumes, etc. DH said describe it like a kids version and performed cirque du soleil! I can't do animal circuses.

Just curious what your opinion is on zoos? vino tgrimes Do you find them different than circuses? I don't have a strong opinion about zoos but I know many people do.

Let's just say that daycare has a zoo field trip planned and B will be staying home that day. ETA: I know people like going and honestly I don't judge, you do you, I just choose not to partake.

I know a lot of people that aren't though. For the record, I took Mara to the circus last year, or maybe it was the year before that. I can't remember. MH bought the tickets. They only had tigers and had already stopped using the elephants and other animals.

hangry, not vine or tgrimes but I'm picky about zoos as well as aquariums. But having worked at an aquarium in high school, I'm partial. I am big on them being a part of the Association of zoos and aquariums. But I look at their websites and reviews as well. I won't go to them just because they are on that list. I look into husbandry behaviors, training, what they do to keep them entertained even when not with a trainer as animals in the wild are constantly looking for food, shelter, etc. so I'm picky about them!
