I WAS disgusted to read Ian Hart's comment article on Thursday, June 18, regarding the arrival of the Great British Circus at the Sussex Showground.
I am proud that the council has refused to allow this barbaric "entertainment" onto public land.
Using animals in circuses is cruel and out-dated.
As for comparing the animals' treatment to that of Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent... I am ut
terly enraged.
Susan Boyle CHOSE to enter the competition.
The elephants and tigers have no say in whether they are dragged around the country and paraded in front of noisy audiences.
Susan Boyle is also choosing to continue to take part in the show's publicity and tour, and she will make a great deal of money from a record contract.
The animals in circuses will see no benefit, only years of suffering and an unnatural life.
I would like to refer him to the RSPCA website for details on the suffering of animals in circuses: http://tinyurl.com/3d49od
