  1. Such a true story you share with us in this haiku. Our government has forbidden that wild animals are used in the circus.

  2. Why do we seek to put those that are more free than ourselves in cages smaller than we would/could occupy?
    Thank you for the meditation :)

  5. It is sad the origins of the circus were for "freaks" and cruelty to animals.

  7. This Haiku reflects cruelty on circus animals. These poor beasts are forced to perform; if they don't they have to bear the consequences.
    Well done!
