I do not support circuses that use animals for entertainment. No, it is not because I am deathly afraid of clowns (although I am). No, the reason is not because I do not find that much amusement in some of the things throughout the performances. The misuse, neglect, and abuse that the animals involved in circuses endure is what forced me to boycott circuses two years ago and still to this very day. On the other hand, my wording may be slightly off-putting--let's say that I boycott animal circuses. Animal-free circuses are the only ones that I will bother to attend, although those I am not too fond of either.
