Title: Should we have elephants in the circus?
Post by: loulou on February 28, 2009, 05:13:31 pm: Three elephants called Sonja, Delhi and Vana Mana have made their debut at the Newark Showground in Nottingham.

I am against elephants at the circus.

Post by: loulou on February 28, 2009, 06:01:04 pm: As an eho you should sympathise with these elephants. I worry about them being transported about.

They never look happy. No one should be able to exploit animals in this way. They'll be bringing back the freak shows next.

Elephants should be in conservation parks protected from poachers.

You don't watch BB, do you?

Post by: oldspice on March 01, 2009, 06:16:47 pm: Big Brother? Nah. Who wants to know that "Bonzo is in the rest area changing his socks. Meanwhile, Betty lets Libby know how she feels about Johnny eating the last orange in the fruit bowl".

However, I have been known to look in on Jeremy Kyle (on a Friday afternoon when I'm cleaning my living room I switch on to ITV2 now and then). It's horrific. It's so bad you just have to keep watching - like picking a scab. It's a REAL freak show. Are there really that many jobless, alcoholic-and-drug-addicted baby machines out there?? Surely it's all made up?

Post by: paulham on March 01, 2009, 06:24:39 pm: I know loads of people who admit to that Kyle show.
You should all go on it.
It would be cathartic.

Yes, there are. I live in the dark depths of Bristol and you don't have to go far before you meet up with freakish entities, I can tell you.
