About this listen
Our journey begins with an exploration of the ins and outs of ethics in the circus setting. From illuminating discussions on animal acts to revealing instances of unethical practices, we learn why a shift in these old paradigms is not only necessary, but vital. The detailed analysis reveals the importance of animal welfare, taking into account physiological, psychological, and social needs of our animal friends.
Further ahead, we delve into the animal training landscape, casting a spotlight on ethical approaches like positive reinforcement, habituation, and the famous clicker training technique. You'll discover how educating circus personnel, building a culture of respect, and promoting continuing education can bring about a remarkable transformation in awareness.
This enlightening book also provides practical and actionable insight into veterinary care, balanced diet and nutrition, and exercise regimen for circus animals.
