If you didn’t already know, circuses may have appeared sweet and fun on the outside when you were young but behind the scenes they’re cruel and painful.  Animals are severely abused – how do you think they get wild animals to act so docile and do tricks?!  I just read in TIME that Bolivia is the first country to ban circuses.  I’m so happy to hear that and can’t wait for other countries to do the same – I wish the US would do the same now!
