Animals don’t perform tricks because they want to; they perform due to pain reinforcement. To force animals to perform meaningless and physically uncomfortable tricks, trainers use whips, muzzles, chains, electric prods, bullhooks, and other painful tools of the trade. Circuses easily get away with routine abuse because no government agency monitors training sessions. Constant travel means animals are confined to trailers for days at a time in extremely hot and cold weather, often without access to basic necessities such as food, water, and veterinary care.
