Not Susan, but I agree with her.

I don't like "Dumbo" or the circus in in general
because of the way the animals are treated. It's
horrible, just horrible. I have seen footage from
training sessions where animal are beaten,
electrocuted, cut with razors attached to long sticks.
All for the "entertainment" of us.

Suposedly it doesn't happen anymore...but even though
the treatment of animals has improved, I still don't
think they are treated with the care and respect the
deserve. I will never take my child or any child to
the circus.
