Sulson was a very calm, steady animal man - I learnt a lot from watching him work. But his wife was the complete opposite - a very excitable little French lady!

This was what I was posting about the other day when I was complaining about how low the business is in Australia today. This is a LION ACT!!!!! To day there are only two lion acts in the whole of Australia and both of them are pussycat acts compared with this. We only have two working elephants in the ring in Aussie shows and they would be going backward if they worked any slower. Despite the low standard the public in Australia really support circuses with animals. Steve Robinson.
