and in reference to the story, animals shouldnt be made to do trick for profit. the money these shows make wouldnt even cover the cost of treating the animals fairly. so really, shame on thecustomer who pays dismal amounts to watch animals being abused. if the circus was charging top dollar, and the animals were getting treated fairly, it would be a whole different ball game, but how fair is it to really carry animals around the country in trailers. overall circuses are bad ideas. on the other side of things council shouldnt be wasting this much time on it. propose the by law, take a vote, and pass the bylaw. we know its not a good thing, who cares what other cities do. everytime we need to do something, we look at other cities. for example, the essar centre (Sarnia) more recently the sign bylaw (toronto, north bay, etc) and now the ciricus. just get it done fast and without comparing our small city to these big centres such as toronto
