The means of transportation not only presents a limitation in space but may also present limitation in food and water. Furthermore, the animals are forced to travel in small enclosures where they must sleep among their waste. Even when the circus arrives at its destination, the animals must remain locked away for fear that they will wander or rebel. Such unsanitary conditions seem unimaginable to us people, but then why are they acceptable for animals? Circuses do not take into account the animals’ necessities because they are merely focused on the amount of money they are obtaining from each of their
