The 'Not so' Great british circus is touring the uk again this year. www.greatbritishcircus.co.uk

ABOUT THE GREAT BRITISH CIRCUS
Great British Circus’. Lacey’s business was previously called Circus Harlequin: physical and verbal abuse of animals was found by an undercover investigator to be standard practice during the 1997 summer season. In one incident an injured lioness was kept hidden during a visit from the RSPCA. A vet had not been called. The name of the circus may have changed: the people haven’t!
A year after the report was published, Martin Lacey admitted on TV to having shot his bears, making clear that circuses kill surplus animals.
The only ‘great’ thing about the Great British Circus is the lengths they go to to convince the public that they are kind to animals.
They claim, for instance, to train their animals in the ring as part of the show, ‘which should put a stop to any suggestions of circus cruelty.’ What the public see, however, is not training but a rehearsal of an act for which the animal is already – in circus slang – ‘broken’.
The cruelty behind the scenes has been exposed on multiple occasions.
