I HAVE previously had no qualms about visiting a circus with animals in it.
But I soon changed my mind after seeing a stomach churning television documentary about the way some animals were cruelly treated by Mary Chipperfield.
It made me wonder whether other circus companies also treat the so-called stars of their shows in such an apalling way. I will not be visiting one again.
