Although the circus\u2019s Ontario tour only uses dogs and horses, other shows produced by the same company use what many people think of as circus animals \u2013 elephants, bears and tigers. Discovering that didn\u2019t sit well with Kyra Watters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think people would think twice about going if they knew what they did across the border,\u201d says Watters. \u201cI want people to understand who these people are. It\u2019s really easy to say \u2018they are just using dogs and horses\u2019 and I think (this circus) has done everything they can do not to raise eyebrows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But even the use of dogs and horses is ethically questionable she says \u2013 with a 10-day tour of twice-daily shows that covers almost 2000 kilometres, it\u2019s hardly a good life for those animals.<\/p>\n<p>James Hunt, the director of The Door youth centre in Huntsville, agrees. When free tickets arrived for the show, he sent them back with a clear message written on the envelope: <em>We reject the practice of animal abuse<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>It would be sending our youth a very mixed message to take them to an event like that. We spend a lot of time talking to them about the importance of standing up for the rights of others, for those who are less able to speak up for themselves. We want to teach our youth to be advocates and allies for each other and to me it\u2019s pretty clear that same philosophy extends towards animals and towards the environment. I think that the treatment of animals in these circus circuits is far less than humane and these animals need advocates speaking up on their behalf. I would hope that The Door is just one of many, many voices that are standing up.<br \/>\n<cite>James Hunt, Director of The Door youth centre<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He added that one doesn\u2019t have to dig very far to find out how inhumane the treatment of circus animals is and he encourages people to research it for themselves before deciding to purchase tickets. \u201cIt\u2019s not a necessity for us to be entertained by these animals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Continuing to use animals for entertainment sends a poor message, agrees Watters. \u201cIt teaches disrespect for animals and suggests that we have this enormous superiority and authority over them. If we want to see a decrease in dog fighting or animal abuse or just general unethical treatment of animals, we have to stop showing children that this is what you do to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But as Watters discovered in doing her own research, there are no by-laws prohibiting the practice locally although a small number of municipalities across Canada \u2013 most in British Columbia \u2013 have begun to ban the use of wild and exotic animals. She contacted Councillor Nancy Alcock to see if the same could be done in Huntsville.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have the legislation that would say we don\u2019t want them here,\u201d says Alcock. \u201cIn Huntsville, we have a by-law that deals specifically with keeping wild and exotic animals, I think fundamentally for safety reasons, so I think we have the intent but what we don\u2019t have is something to deal with the performance and display of them.\u201d (Read the existing by-law <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huntsville.ca\/en\/documentuploads\/Bylaws\/doc_634336280247756832.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/span>.)<\/p>\n<p>She wants to follow the lead of municipalities like Kamloops, BC, or closer to home Sault Ste. Marie and Cobourg, who have extensive by-laws in place to define and prohibit the use of wild and exotic animals for entertainment. But Huntsville needs to take it even one step further, she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if we had a by-law like Kamloops, because of the disingenuous nature of the company (coming to Huntsville) who aren\u2019t bringing wild animals and exotics but use them in the U.S., it adds a whole other level of complexity. It\u2019s really an ethical question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alcock stresses that town staff looked carefully at what the Super Circus Spectacular show included before renting the company space at the Don Lough Arena.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>We don\u2019t have an overarching statement that talks about the ethical treatment of animals that would trigger investigation into a company.<br \/>\n<cite>Councillor Nancy Alcock<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alcock will be bringing a motion to the General Committee meeting at the end of June to amend the existing by-law. Her hope is that council will agree and be able to find common ground on wording that both protects animals and allows council or staff to assess and investigate requests on a case-by-case basis where they fall into a potential grey area. \u201cI think there has to be room for discussion so that we don\u2019t over-regulate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the outcome of council\u2019s debate, Alcock would also like to issue a challenge to other Ontario municipalities to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p>And to be clear, neither Watters nor Alcock are suggesting that circuses be done away with \u2013 there are many that successfully operate with only human performers. Think Cirque du Soleil. Nor are they suggesting that all uses of animals be banned \u2013 there would be exemptions within the bylaw for events and facilities like the fall fair, dog agility shows, animal sanctuaries, and equestrian centres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the intent that\u2019s important,&#8221; says Watters. &#8220;Who benefits?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doppler\u2019s attempts to contact Super Circus Spectacular representatives for comment were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss out on Doppler!
