When Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk and trundled off to the circus..

I think she was probably a mischievous one and when she said goodbye to the circus she probably packed, the key to the lions cages, the ringmasters whip and the clown's shoes. I doubt she took them far though, unless maybe she traded them for some magic peanuts on the way from a guy called Jack who couldn't be bothered to go up a beanstalk. In turn he gave the circus stuff to a giant who always wanted to be in the circus but lacked self-confidence, enthused by his new items he gave Jack his playstation, which was handy for both. Jack was a lazy sod who wanted to loaf in front of a TV and the giant went of to join the circus, and do you know?.. .when he got there they barely even noticed, they just said "my my Nellie, haven't you grown.." The End

Hiya Wizzy, Reckon Nellie should put in her case a nice big soft hat to protect her from the Sun. Some nice shower gel natural like almond milk for her dry delicate skin and a nice soft towel to dry herself with and another soft one to lie down on too. Nice bruch with a sponge on it so she can brush or be brushed nice and gently and a portable mud bath so she can roll in it and them some nice ground with cool water where she can spray herself down and then roll in some nice dusty soil. Not forgetting a nice owner who loves her and treats here well too and so she does´nt have to walk very far a nice Van that´s regulated inside with fresh air and not too many Circus Acts so she does´nt get worn out. Animals can work in a Circus provided the owners think of their animals well being and there is a mutual trust between them and they don´t overwork them. Also mentioned above nice cool shady fields with plenty of trees in them. Really I´m not sure that Animals like Tigers and Lions should work in such conditions or be in a Zoo come to think of it. The animals if loosed out would probably think far better to have live one day in freedom than none at all. But there are People that keep Tigers and Lions and they look after them very well and they are much loved in return.

There are some here that would argue each way on this one. No animal should be in a situation where they are mistreated, their health is neglected and they are forced to perform out of fear. I believe some animals, just like some people, love to perform. I opt for some animals being in some circuses. But I think they need down seasons to be out in the field or where ever.

Animals should only be performing in circuses if they're suitably backed by a strong union that has no corrupt links to circus management. If I were Nellie, I would be sure to pack a catering-sized tub of wrinkle cream. Elephants tend to neglect themselves when it comes to skin care and a little discipline on that front could make all the difference. I'd also pack my personally signed photograph of Dumbo for inspiration.

her agent? I don't know, if they're treated decently, you could argue they are better off than in the wild. Problem is, there've been a lot of allegations of circuses not treating the animals decently. And then there's the question of whether we even have the right to do anything we want with any animal we want. idk
