My unethical circus show has been facing criticism for violating animal welfare best practices, how can I perform with animals in a way that addresses these concerns?

There are many ways to perform with animals that adhere to animal welfare best practices. Some ideas include working with trained wildlife actors rather than wild animals, using positive reinforcement-based training methods, creating enriching habitat spaces and environment for the animal which will allow them ample space to explore and engage in natural behaviors, engaging expert consultation on appropriate techniques for safely interacting and performing with animals, ensuring there is proper veterinary care for any animal used in performance and providing adequate rest between acts. Ultimately it’s important to ensure that whatever method or technique you utilize ethical animal welfare standards are met while creating a fun yet safe show experience.

It is essential to ensure animal welfare best practices are met when performing with animals. Additionally, working with animals ethically may include modifying performances that could be seen as causing any form of stress or harm to the animals, and increasing transparency around how the animals are being handled and cared for. Other steps might include implementing educational opportunities to inform spectators about responsible animal ownership and giving proceeds from the shows to wildlife conservation efforts.
