Just read on Mail Online News that wild animals are going to be banned in circuses within the next two years.

/// I too had those feelings as a child. We were taken to a circus as children some years ago and I remember being heartbroken at the tricks the elephants had to perform, it just didn't seem right and I've hated circuses ever since. ///

'Heartbroken' that's a little extreme, You must have been one of a very small minority of children who were so affected, I have always been fascinated by the looks of joy and amazement on children's faces, when they see such tricks, being performed.

Surely, it is only when we become adults that we realise the full implications behind keeping and training these magnificent animals to perform these tricks?

Not extreme, it's a vivid memory I have.
