I am shocked that HSH Princess Stephanie has defended the use of animals in the circus. Her defence is that 'we' (the people who disagree) are uneducated and that the animals are well treated. I do not deny that the animals are well treated, my point is that the animals shouldn't be there entertaining us, well treated or not. A giraffe, elephant or tiger is not designed to spend its life touring in a truck, spending its life in a cage and only getting exercise in a circus ring with a load of humans applauding it. http://www.monacomatin.mc/environnement/la-princesse-stephanie-prend-la-defense-des-dresseurs-danimaux-dans-les-cirques-200625
