The RSPCA have a campaign to stop people going to circuses that use animals mainly due to the travelling around transportation aspect.
But on the other hand animals in a circus get a lot more stimulation of the brain than animals stuck in Zoo's - they get training in different tricks a change of scene etc.
Whereas I have seen animals even in the best Zoo's (such as London Zoo) exhibiting stress at being caged by pacing the limits of their enclosures over and over and over again...
Will the RSPCA try to shut Zoo's next?
When people give money to the RSPCA do they really expect it to be campaigning on this stuff instead of spending the money on actual welfare of animals rather than euthanising the ones they cant get rid of?
