THE CIRCUS of HORROR RETURN This post is a tribute (though it might not seem like it) to all the animals who for so long suffered abuse just "for entertainment" and, of course, to make money. Luckily, at least in my country, it's now prohibited; I hope the same happens in the rest of the world. Tomorrow there will be a second post with the conclusion. 01. The Circus of Horror - The Arrival 02. The Circus of Horror - The Presentation 03. The Circus of Horror - The Horse 04. The Circus of Horror - The Lion
