POST PHOTOS/KASIA McDONOUGH Circuses are NO FUN for the Animals Dancing elephants. Tigers jumping through flaming hoops. Bears on bicycles. Animals don't do these tricks because they want to. They do them because they're afraid not to. Circus staff typically use fear and intimidation to force elephants, tigers, and other animals to perform circus tricks. Animals in circuses may be whipped, beaten with clubs, shocked with electric prods, and stabbed with sharp hooks while being trained to “perform”. Animals in the circus lead lives of misery. They travel thousands of miles each year, without water, in railroad cars or trucks not air-conditioned in summer or heated in winter. Most elephants spend a majority of their lives in chains. The animals never roam free. They're always confined.
