Circuses

Is animal captivity wrong? The answer to this rhetorical question can diverge into many directions. The world has been eagerly waiting for the answer from the researchers. The public has been protesting against animal captivity but how long will the protest last for? Will there ever be a change? In the end, we need an object to test all for the human benefits.

The entertainment would consist of gladiator events and chariot races. This not only kept the poor contempt for the time being, but was also a good way to win votes in the…

witnessed the incident for the speaker to emphasize this. The stanza begins with the word “and” again which demonstrates a rhetorical pattern from a previous stanza. The first line of this stanza states “And none of the zoos or circuses” (15). Referring to zoos and circuses gives the impression of a panther performing at one of these locations with so many people watching. The next line provides a distance of 50 miles. This was to exaggerate the amount of people from the entire community that…

Do you know that this is what we do to animals, we literally kidnap them from their families. How and what would your family do if that happened to you. These poor animals don’t get to grow up with their family which leaves them in mental torture. They have the right to live in the wild because they’re wild animals and we wouldn't know how they react sometimes. When we take them…

officers gathered to get the elephant’s attention by following the lead of Fluffy’s caretaker, Bobby Joe Cafruni. Cafruni eventually was able to lure the elephant back to the circus train.

During the 1800’s, those with disabilities were seen as pitiful individuals only used for entertainment purposes such as working at circuses or even carnivals.
