I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. It takes a lot of animal cruelty to make a bear put on a tutu and ice skates.
"....Electric shock, whips, baseball bats and pipes are also among the methods used to force the animals to cooperate in training. Some animals are kept muzzled to subdue them and discourage them from defending themselves if they feel threatened. Some animals are drugged to make them manageable and some have their teeth removed. Some bears have had their paws burned to force them to stand on their hind legs...."

What you can do
DON’T visit circuses that have animals. There are a number of cruelty free circuses that only display human acts. For a list of cruelty free circuses, please visit Circuses that do not use animal acts.
Lawfully protest circuses that contain animal acts. Educate potential visitors about what really goes on in some circuses. Urge local animal control and the humane society to carefully monitor the care and treatment of animals when a circus with animals comes to your area.
Urge lawmakers to ban animal entertainment acts and show your support for those that do.

lame. who the hell would want to go to an animal-free circus lol
Ever hear of Cirque du Soleil? Far more amazing and entertaining to watch what a human being can train himself to do than to watch a tortured animal.
Enjoy-

im sure not EVERY circus tortures its animals.
I enjoyed watching circus animals perform when I was a kid - but anytime I see a circus animal now I think of the deprived and painful existence it lives.
