How one circus has replaced animals with extreme stunts A circus owner says the industry is all about taking 'calculated risks' and not performing animals.
Earlier this week Environment Secretary Michael Gove announced a new law to ban travelling circuses from using wild animals.
Circus Extreme is currently on its first tour of the UK and says it has taken five years to plan the show.
Owner Dr Haze says the circus has to evolve if it is to survive for another 200 years and the performers are 'risking their lives' to entertain the crowds.

People are replaceable, animals are not?
Save the snail darter! Or the circus bear.
Bring back the gladiator games.
lol
Well yes to liberals we are.
on to the video!
This better not be boring... :)
Stunts. Is it a midget circus?
Bring back the flea circuses.......
Basically it’s Cirque du Soleil.
Ah, that’s nothing.
I once drank 8 beers and then was strapped in to a spinning wheel and if I didn’t throw up during a minute of spinning I got a free beer.
I didn’t throw up.
I just didn’t feel well enough to drink the free beer
Even though they are used and seen everyday, they aren’t always taken care of the best and can be neglected. They don’t have a choice whether they work for the circus or not.
Perhaps the circus, apart from the animal issues, may not be a viable thing when you get down to the bottom line.
“People are replaceable, animals are not?”
that’s what your typical dog owner thinks about..
Circuses with their performing animals are becoming obsolete. Nobody wants to see performing elephants or tigers jumping thru hoops anymore........
Cirque Du Soleil has taken the circus to a whole new level and all of their theme based performances are spectacular.......
While I've never seen one personally, I do have a number of their DVD's.......They're must see.
I didn’t know the circus was still a thing.
Nobody wants to see performing elephants or tigers jumping thru hoops anymore........
For most people real animals can’t compete with Disney animals as they would rather dwell in Plato’s cave than be impressed by what is attainable in reality. Dumbo killed the Circus.
I’d like to see them shoot a guy out of a cannon — but instead of landing in a net he should land in the barrel of a second cannon, which would then shoot him back into the first cannon.
I would pay money to see that.
Oh, and he should be a midget.
Bring back the gladiator games.
THE 10TH VICTIM Games!
The 10th Victim - Wikipedia
I assume that you had to pay for the eight beers. That’s a great deal for the bar. They sold you eight beers for a chance to get a ninth one. If you vomit or are too sick to drink the ninth one - THEY WIN. You are the proof of that.
You want me to feel bad about buying 8 beers 30 years ago??
Bro you need to let go of things if that’s how you live your life..
“Bring back the gladiator games.
At least it was just Christians they threw to the lions limiting the risk factor.
rwood
“Wild animals” banned?
Okay, then the animal acts may continue.
They are Domesticated and Trained animals.
Words - meaning thing.
for goodness sake, who doesn’t go to the bar to drink themselves into a coma? 8 beers is nothin- it’s just a primer for a night of drinking-
