Circuses are very popular form of entertainment both among children and adults.
Performances with animals are the most fabulous and exciting.
But some people are against using animals for entertaining people.
I think that it is rather interesting and funny to watch how tigers, bears, elephants perform different tricks in the circus arena.
But we do not always think about how animals are treated in circuses.
First of all to my mind, it is unacceptable to keep animals in small cages; they must live in a natural habitat, because every creature wants to be free.
Secondly, trainers very often use punishments to show animals their superiority over them.
This is not right.
People must remember that animals are also can feel pain and loneliness.
It is very cruel to beat and mortify them.
At the same time, there is an opinion that zoos and circuses can save animals from the outlaws hunters and can give home to the abandoned animals.
In circuses and zoos animals can get a vet care in case of illness, they have enough food to live on.
That may be true but wild animals can lose their instincts such as getting food, for example.
Sometimes in circuses and zoos cubs are grown up separate from their mothers.
That makes females of tigers, lions and bears aggressive.
To sum up, wild animals must live in their natural habitat.
There are many conservation areas that can save animals from hunters.
Circuses cannot give them such conditions that nature provides.
