Is it just me? What do you think of this?
The fanatical animal rights movement can trace its roots to England.

1. The Olympic Equestrian events are the only games that use animals.
2. The horses travel to England from all over the world in beautiful stalls, access to fresh water and feed. They are accompanied by their trainers constantly. 3. The majority of the horses are flown to England in first class style via specialized jets coordinated by FedEx.
4. Circus animals are also transported in beautiful stalls, access to fresh water and feed and are accompanied by their trainers.
5. I haven't seen any animal rights protesters in the media,regarding the Olympic horses.
6. The web site Mother Nature Network reached out to PETA and several other AR groups for their view on the horse transportation. ALL OF THEM REFUSED to comment. When have you heard of the animal rights fanatics refusing media attention?

From this moment on, when I am questioned about the transport of circus animals I will reply, "Just like the beautiful horses in the Olympics and the Kentucky Derby, circus animals travel in custom designed compartments, with constant attention from their trainers."

We used 2 DC-8 Stretch Flying Tigers frighters when i toured the Disney On Parade and Peter Pan shows in South America and Asian tours. With Peter Pan we had 2 sets of poles and rigging that leap frog. Then we would fly the canvas from country to country. You can sure get a lot onto those planes.
