While China recently placed a ban on some animal performances at zoos and circuses (READ MORE HERE) they have a long way to go to ending animal abuse. 

This is a video worth passing along to those who might be wondering why circuses with animals should be banned.
'The Performance' was produced by Environment Films Ltd (www.environmentfilms.org) for the Animals Asia Foundation (www.animalsasia.org) to draw further attention to the plight of thousands of animals being used in circuses throughout Asia. The film is narrated by Terry Waite CBE and its music is by Moby.

I find some of the responses by viewers of this video to show a disturbing lack of ... deep thinking, to say the least. 

NOTE:  Wherever you read the word BLEEP it's used in place of the "F" word.
