I am shocked and disappointed that WPLJ is promoting and giving away tickets to the Ringling Brothers Circus. Animals used in circuses live a dismal life of domination, confinement, and violent training. The fact is, animals do not naturally ride bicycles, stand on their heads, balance on balls, or jump through rings of fire. To force them to perform these confusing and physically uncomfortable tricks, trainers use whips, tight collars, muzzles, electric prods, bullhooks, and other painful tools of the trade.
