Animal Trainer Cruelty Charges
Animal activist Ed Stewart, who accuses Ringling Bros. and other circuses of cruelty to animals, cynically asks, “How do they get the animals to do it every night?”
Stewart and other circus protesters apparently cannot grasp the concepts of early training, positive reinforcement and discipline. I wonder how these critics achieve obedience from their household pets, and whether they toilet-train their children and require them to attend school?
