Well, I'm sure SOME animal circuses are fine. Anything with exotic animals probably isn't fine though, especially anything with elephants. |

Definitely not vertebrates or large invertebrates, but like I said before 1 exception is voluntary humans. |

I agree circuses are pointless and often associated with cruelty. The problem is that we've now got more exotic animals in private ownership that it would ever be feasible to re-home successfully, so if all circuses were to be banned we would have a surplus of animals and mass euthanasia would ensue. It's a truly terrible predicament. |

Yes, look at this: http://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/more-tigers-in-american-backyards-than-in-the-wild Most of them can't be simply put into wild, but they can be rewild: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_China%27s_Tigers#Rewilding |

The vast majority won't be able to return to a wild state. Its a sad, horrible predicament. |

I'm saying that banning circuses and private collections will result in thousands of homeless animals that are incapable of returning to the wild so they will be euthanized, that's the extent of the problem. A better option would be a massive spay and neuter programme for private animals. |

Yes, and when their numbers are low enough, they will be rewild. |
