Am I the only one who thinks these majestic animals deserve freedom in the wild? This cage is a different kind of colloseum for the animals... I would pay to watch these Kings and queens comfy in their own habitat!!
They would be die at the day 3… they can’t hunt but they are well feeded and their healthcare very strict and serious by the local laws! Do you really think wild predator animals have the same authority Than dogs and cats? 😓😓😓 Even for an OWL! You need special paper and trainings even if you want a snow owl which is smaller Than the rest… do you understand how serious and strict the dangerous wild Predator animals keeping? You need special documents and training + the goverment check their health at every time…
They have lived in the sanctuary Tiger Haven since 2016, the other animals are in other sanctuaries, the tradition of circus with animals no longer exists in most countries, except in the Russian region and some Asian countries
Ringling Brothers actually took care of their cats very well. These cats clearly like the owner just a bit lazy (mouth at the wand a bit) to follow command but you can tell they are spoiled.
Obviously you're not aware that these animals have never been in the wild they were born in captivity and they've been loved all their life or they were just eat their Trainer . There are plenty of videos showing how they're trained but obviously you don't want to see them because you've been brainwashed . How about you do some research before you shoot off your dumb mouth
it is so sad to see such a great male lion,sitting there ,looking tired and sad, that he doesn't care to fight anymore.. Such a pity. These planet doesn't deserve us.
@@profetadoobvio8455 You people don't get it! The big cats are abusively wiped with that whip, in training. When they aren't performing they are chained up or put in cages. defecting were they eat. It's no place for any life to live.
I don't know where you got that, but they don't drug the cats. That would get exactly the results they *don't* want. Remember, well-fed cats are lazy by instinct. They don't want to bother getting up and performing. The trainer's biggest concern isn't to prevent them from attacking; it's to get them to jump around on cue instead of lazing around doing nothing. Because cats' natural instincts are to hunt only when they're hungry, and save their energy the rest of the time, exactly as most warm-weather carnivores do. So the trainer doesn't want to sedate the cats; they're naturally plenty relaxed already, and the trainer's challenge is to get them moving. But he can't get them moving with any kind of drug that would wake them up, because that would also risk making them unpredictable. The last thing a trainer wants in the ring is an unpredictable cat, one whom he can't trust to keep doing the same thing over and over again, eight shows a week. Drugs of any kind would make unpredictable behavior much more common; and the kind of drugs that would do what the trainer's aiming for in the first place (make them more active and less lazy) would be even worse. They can't take that kind of risk. It's much easier to just use their voice and the cues from the whip -- which, by the way, never touches them unless they attack and it's needed to save a life; it's there as a pointer, to cue the cats which way to go -- to get the cats moving and doing what they're supposed to.

She is batting the whip and growling waiting for her chance to end this horrible nightmare they live in. Wrong move and he's done. These animals are abusively wiped during traing and they fear that whip. These animals scent body language. Body move meant can trigger attack mode.
@Seallular service - Селлер сервис No, Ringling Brothers takes care of their animals. Sometimes they do get physical to correct them in their training but they get thier needs fulfilled, good health, food, water, kept clean. After a few years of entertaining and making kids happy, they get sent to a sanctuary to roam more freely and get taken care of.
I feel sad knowing how so many of the comments here said this is "the bond between human and big cats". Just look at the lions and tiger gaze and behaviour. Its doesn't look like the friendly bond between animals and human. They look terrified, angry and scared at the same time. Its disgusting and sad to see how people are still supporting this.
I thought I remembered the cats doing a lot of snarling and swatting. Its far more impressive realizing that just 1 of those animals could tear him to shred in seconds.
don’t exaggerate lmao, it usually takes a big cat a few hours or so until their prey is fully devoured. Do you expect big cats to be shredder machines? 🤦♀️
@@lita_starr It's true! If it were for that whip, they would maul him to death. They are afraid of it because they are whipped during training. There has been incidents where they have attacked and have mauled. Some have lost arms and other body parts. These animals deserve to be in the wild where they belong. Not caged up or chained for most of their lives.
But why? You also eat animals, chicken, fish etc for your own sake but when it comes to these circus people who are just trying to make money so they can live a peaceful life , you have a problem! You also eat animal like beef eat whose Nuetrients can also achieve from non veg food, if you drink just a milk, you will get most of the nuetraints, The only different nuetraints that the vegetarian food not contain is vitamin d which you get from fish, but when we tell you this, you guys become angry and say do not force me to what to eat and what not to eat! And now you are forcing them not to do thing kind of things because you feel bad!
@@James-kv6kb I’m sure you would never leave either. Don’t worry you get treated very well. You will be kept in a tiny cramped cage and travel all the time, you will never be able to form normal social interactions or relationships, they will torture you until you comply, but don’t worry you will get a nice tasty cookie afterwards, you will be forced to perform in shows with bright lights and loud crowds constantly watching you and screaming, kept with other aggressive and scared people, forced to do exhausting tasks for hours on end. That sounds just great doesn’t it?
Love, Honor and Respect to the Big Cats Trainers because are incredible and brave. In fact, you have to make sure those Big Cats Stomachs is Full at All Times.
Pobres 😥animales les quitan su libertad y para que ellos obedezcan son maltratados, no le veo nada agradable, los del 🎪circo deben de trabajar en otras formas no maltratando a esos seres tan hermosos.
This was 8 years ago, it’s much different now. The Ringling Brothers circus has already closed down and the tigers are now roaming more freely and well taken care of at a sanctuary.
I love this! it's fine. They're just animals. They're walking, they're fine. I love this and my girlfriend and friends do. Don't care what others say 😊😊😊. Its amazing to see animals doing this! This is what animals should be used for instead of being boring things no one cares about looking at Kudos to circuses! Love what you guys and trainers are doing! 😄😄😄❤❤❤
Please, listen(read)... *Animals are NEVER "just animals", they are SENTIENT living beings* ; THEY FEEL PAIN JUST LIKE US. Now, would YOU and your friends like to get: RAPTED, DRUGGED, CHAINED UP, TIED UP, CAGED AND ABUSED ? Because those and even other horrible things are what all these innocent animals go through... Every f-cking day....
This is old footage of an Australian circus back in the day...I would have gone to this as most of us did back then growing up here.T aken along during the school holidays by our parents and totally mesmerised by the big cats and the elephants and probably bears (if I remember correctly ) This was a huge spectacle as I recall...and a much anticipated part of the show and we thought nothing of it as kids..we were simply in awe it was all a part of going to the circus and this IS what going to the circus looked like!(along with the clowns and trapeze and fairy floss) Of course now I watch this and cringe.I don't think we ever thought they were 'mistreated' but the sheer act itself is cruel when you realise how totally abnormal all of it was and still is.
The way those big cats hissing and roaring they doesn't like it, they're not comfortable with him and the peoples. i hope those cats cat are safer now, and get better place :(
@@wildafrica626 if you did a simple google search ringling brothers actually treat their animals really well, they were sued by multiple activist groups and won 25millions for it 🤣 cause of false allegation with zero evidences
For those saying that they are all sad and miserable, Ringling Bros was one of the only circus's that took good care of their animals, they were always in good health, clean, and they even built custom train cars for them out of old OOS passenger cars, every one of them was built to accommodate spacific types of animals. They truly cared about there Cats.
Regardless of how well you claim they were looked after, the glaring fact remains……they are wild animals. And are the apex predators in their own environments, which incidentally should never cross Tigers in the wild would never encounter Lions of any kind!
@@gavlaarrc1561 Cool story, sweetheart. The fact is: Humans are the real apex predator. Nothing compares. We dominate and control nature, and all other creatures bow before our congitive schematics and abilities. I like seeing fluffy tigers. These particular aforementioned tigers don't know any different. Imagine being born blind: it's all you know so what difference does it make? What an absolute wetwipe you are.
@@gavlaarrc1561 House cats share over 90% dna with tigers so by you’re logic even house cats are wild animals. If you can’t afford a exotic animal why do care about what people buy? even if these animals were in the wild, you wouldn’t have the money to go see them so why do you care about who owns them just that they are feed, houses and cared for?
@@shriharshmhatre8541 Fanboy can't accept the truth even when he knows what he supports is not true. You don't have anytin to say. Prove that the lion is bigger than a tiger rather than making fanboy comments. Come on
@@Oniontowner I don't think they were beaten that much... You heard news about wild animals attacking trainers. They don't look that thin or shabby. If they were really upset, they'd attack right on the stage!
There is huge difference between Good and Correct. Exploiting animals to earn money. Taking advantage of feel good factors of spectators though this practice is not correct.
No they've given love just the same way you would train your dog to do something .now stop believing your childish stereotypes and use your brain for once. It is well known in the circus industry that if you're cruel to an animal it will kill you . And I can provide many videos of how the training is done but of course you don't want to hear the truth do you
I really hope that they're keeping the animals safe and happy since they're performing so amazingly it'd really be such a tragedy if these impressive lions weren't being fed or treated properly
When I was a child I saw a circus performance that was very spectacular, but now when I am an adult, I see this with a very sad meaning, where these animals are forced to perform performances that entertain humans, but sacrifice the animal's identity as an apex predator, hopefully tigers and lions survive in the wild,
Here, ladies and gentlemen, we can see the true power of Humans. This is sad and cringe, even though kids are laughing, and the crowd is having an amazing time……. The poor animals are not! Realise this, those cats were abused, injured and emotionally scarred while they were trained….. Save them, that is the only solution…..
C'mon, u guys got to stop crying everytime u see this, they're not being harmed, maybe if they were harmed u'd have a point, but without a reason u can't be upset.
@@abetterworld96 ofcourse they are not harmed but these animals are not made for some circus...they should live freely in the jungle..and this is not right
Can you imagen how hard for the animals to understand what the people want them to do? Can you imagen what people things need to do for the animals understand them and obey them? This is not the way should act the human. All i can say,.. Godblees you,.
There is always a risk with the great cats. Any trainer will tell you that no matter how well they are habituated, lions are still lions, and there's no tamer who ever lived who didn't have close calls at times. Every one I've ever heard of have scars from actual attacks that they survived. But the cats don't *usually* attack, and they're certainly trained often to pretend they're being aggressive when they're really just performing as instructed. I guarantee you in this video, the tamer wasn't in real danger when the lioness snarled and snapped at him, for example, because when he'd backed her up to her seat, he took his eyes off her to make a joke to the audience about it. A seasoned circus performer might certainly make a joke about a narrow escape in order to make it look like part of the performance and keep the crowd from being truly alarmed, but he would have kept his eyes firmly on the disobedient cat while he did it. He would never have turned to the audience while an unruly lioness whom he'd just settled down resumed her place behind him. There have been many real injuries and some deaths from the cats; most in rehearsal, a few in performance. These are living animals, they have moods, and there is always, always a chance on any given day that one will decide to act up. But most of the time when it *looks* like a cat is acting up, it's just because that's what they've been trained to do as part of the show.
@Paramount 7P Probably not -- don't mistake their thought process for anything like that of humans. They're creatures of feeling and instinct, not thought. Often, when one cat in the ring acts up, the others will also, because their behavior makes the others edgy and stressed. But they don't treat it like a linear thought process: "they're acting angry at the person I like/therefore that person is in danger/therefore I have to stop them." It's more like the others see distress or irritability signs and they don't know why; they feel tension coming from their trainer and don't know why that's happening either, and they're watching things happen in the ring that they know shouldn't be happening but they've got no idea what has pulled their world off its axis or how to get it back. They can't logically figure out that protecting their trainer would be useful. They just know that everything is going wonky and everybody around then is upset, and so it upsets them too, enough that they can lash out at anyone including their trainer, just from anxiety and confusion. All of that means that a cat in the same ring with one who's acting up is actually more likely to be a second threat to the trainer than they are to be his champion. Not because they're mad at him, because they're freaking out and don't know what to do, and an upset lion or tiger lashes out at anybody nearby. This is one of the reasons a cat trainer's first line of defense is to get all the cats sitting in their individual places, and as quickly as possible. Every single day, they practice the 'place' command... not because the cats haven't long since learned it perfectly, but so that obeying it will be absolute ingrained and almost automatic. That does two things: first, it means the trainer can much more quickly get control back over a disobeying cat (even if they've blown off an order, they're much less likely to blow off *that* order); and second, it means that all the *other* cats see that the trainer has restored dominance over the disobedient cat and everything is again the way it should be, so they are more likely to stay calm. If you're interested in the psychology of cat work, check out the book _Tiger, Tiger_ by Charly Baumann. He was Ringling Brothers' cat expert long before this video, and he worked with lions for the first part of his career and mostly tigers for the second, and built the classic Ringling cat act which this one is based on. It explains a lot about how they're trained and what you can and can't count on them for.
I equally feel as sorry for the animals as I do the showman, he must probably live in constant adrenaline rush doing this for a living, and the constant fear of the possibility of these beasts turn to their rogue instincts without notice...I could not handle it
It's the showman's choice to do this. The animals fear that whip for it's the same the same weapon he uses for training. How ever, one mistake and he's done. You can see how they are growling and hitting the weapon ? They are looking for a wrong move so they can pounce on him. I don't understand how parents can bring their children to see this. I've seen them attack the trainer..
Thank you for watching videos on FreeTelevision. I do appreciate your comments and concerns about Big Cats shows by Ringling Brother's Circus. Just so you know, Ringling Brother's closed their doors for good on May 21, 2017 after 146 years of service. Some of you wanted to know what happened to those tigers. You will be glad to know, they are sent to Sanctuary where tigers can roam freely. Ringling’s circus tigers finally have a retirement home. "15 of those Ringling tigers had arrived at their new home: a Tennessee sanctuary called Tiger Haven, where they are now living out their years on a wooded, 45-acre refuge alongside more than 250 other big cats retired from performing groups, relinquished by zoos or rescued from private owners." See more info at, www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2017/07/19/ringlings-circus-tigers-finally-have-a-retirement-home/ Thank you. Sincerely, FreeTelevision
Okay so by seeing their incredible ability of jumping...ive stopped being an hero in my 2am random thoughts of saving anyone who falls into the tiger cage at the zoo😊
They can't go in the wild unfortunately because they don't know how to survive in the wild. But I'd adopt them and love them with all my heart and give them a better life. I can't stand animals suffering like that. These big cats have the power to swallow someone whole yet they don't even swipe a paw. One of these days I'm going to save a lion or tiger from the circus. If those circus guys aren't willing to treat a big cat with respect, then I am.

After a few years of entertaining and making kids happy, they get sent to a sanctuary to roam more freely and get taken care of.

@@kaios8231 facts
I feel sad knowing how so many of the comments here said this is "the bond between human and big cats".
Just look at the lions and tiger gaze and behaviour.
Its doesn't look like the friendly bond between animals and human. They look terrified, angry and scared at the same time.
Its disgusting and sad to see how people are still supporting this.
Super nice man loving wildlife animals amazing.bro
Hello friend I'm donaldsteven from Brussels Belgium I hope we could be friends if you don't mind.
Yeah they look embarrassed too, kind of
How do you know terrified tigers' gaze look like
This makes sick to see as behind the scenes it's torture ,cruelty and barbaric treatment
I thought I remembered the cats doing a lot of snarling and swatting. Its far more impressive realizing that just 1 of those animals could tear him to shred in seconds.
don’t exaggerate lmao, it usually takes a big cat a few hours or so until their prey is fully devoured. Do you expect big cats to be shredder machines? 🤦♀️
@@lita_starr It's true! If it were for that whip, they would maul him to death. They are afraid of it because they are whipped during training. There has been incidents where they have attacked and have mauled. Some have lost arms and other body parts. These animals deserve to be in the wild where they belong. Not caged up or chained for most of their lives.
im so sorry for these poor animals :(
But why? You also eat animals, chicken, fish etc for your own sake but when it comes to these circus people who are just trying to make money so they can live a peaceful life , you have a problem!
You also eat animal like beef eat whose Nuetrients can also achieve from non veg food, if you drink just a milk, you will get most of the nuetraints,
The only different nuetraints that the vegetarian food not contain is vitamin d which you get from fish, but when we tell you this, you guys become angry and say do not force me to what to eat and what not to eat!
And now you are forcing them not to do thing kind of things because you feel bad!
If you got treated the way they do you wouldn't ever leave the circus. Please don't be ignorant and believe in stereotypes
@@James-kv6kb I’m sure you would never leave either. Don’t worry you get treated very well. You will be kept in a tiny cramped cage and travel all the time, you will never be able to form normal social interactions or relationships, they will torture you until you comply, but don’t worry you will get a nice tasty cookie afterwards, you will be forced to perform in shows with bright lights and loud crowds constantly watching you and screaming, kept with other aggressive and scared people, forced to do exhausting tasks for hours on end. That sounds just great doesn’t it?

Its amazing to see animals doing this! This is what animals should be used for instead of being boring things no one cares about looking at Kudos to circuses! Love what you guys and trainers are doing! 😄😄😄❤❤❤
Please, listen(read)...
*Animals are NEVER "just animals", they are SENTIENT living beings* ; THEY FEEL PAIN JUST LIKE US.
Now, would YOU and your friends like to get: RAPTED, DRUGGED, CHAINED UP, TIED UP, CAGED AND ABUSED ?
Because those and even other horrible things are what all these innocent animals go through... Every f-cking day....
This is old footage of an Australian circus back in the day...I would have gone to this as most of us did back then growing up here.T aken along during the school holidays by our parents and totally mesmerised by the big cats and the elephants and probably bears (if I remember correctly )
This was a huge spectacle as I recall...and a much anticipated part of the show and we thought nothing of it as kids..we were simply in awe it was all a part of going to the circus and this IS what going to the circus looked like!(along with the clowns and trapeze and fairy floss)
Of course now I watch this and cringe.I don't think we ever thought they were 'mistreated' but the sheer act itself is cruel when you realise how totally abnormal all of it was and still is.
Crajesh
P⁰
No
why cringe ? you did enjoyed it once anyway lmao
looks like the animals were fell fed, so just consider it as their job like any human
The way those big cats hissing and roaring they doesn't like it, they're not comfortable with him and the peoples. i hope those cats cat are safer now, and get better place :(
I salute you man!!! I love you all lion/s and tigers! God blessed.
it is painful to watch such a graceful animals sitting like cats ..We r sorry.. animals😓😓
that male lion was not happy at all🤣🤣🤣🤣
None of them are. Tourcherous training and abuse.
@@wildafrica626 if you did a simple google search ringling brothers actually treat their animals really well, they were sued by multiple activist groups and won 25millions for it 🤣 cause of false allegation with zero evidences
Why is that funny, ugly?
@@wildafrica626evidence?
For those saying that they are all sad and miserable, Ringling Bros was one of the only circus's that took good care of their animals, they were always in good health, clean, and they even built custom train cars for them out of old OOS passenger cars, every one of them was built to accommodate spacific types of animals. They truly cared about there Cats.
Regardless of how well you claim they were looked after, the glaring fact remains……they are wild animals. And are the apex predators in their own environments, which incidentally should never cross Tigers in the wild would never encounter Lions of any kind!
@@gavlaarrc1561 Cool story, sweetheart. The fact is: Humans are the real apex predator. Nothing compares. We dominate and control nature, and all other creatures bow before our congitive schematics and abilities. I like seeing fluffy tigers. These particular aforementioned tigers don't know any different. Imagine being born blind: it's all you know so what difference does it make? What an absolute wetwipe you are.
Doesn't matter. Circuses should be shutdown world wide. It's an abomination
I agree
@@gavlaarrc1561
House cats share over 90% dna with tigers so by you’re logic even house cats are wild animals.
If you can’t afford a exotic animal why do care about what people buy? even if these animals were in the wild, you wouldn’t have the money to go see them so why do you care about who owns them just that they are feed, houses and cared for?
Watched it with no voice you will be in tears

You wd too if you are drugged & attired with an electric shock collar, cattle prods, starvation, isolation & whip since kitten-hood to adulthood .

DONT blame the entire human population because of a bunch of idiots
This is legendary ..period !

I remember seeing that performance back at The Angel Stadium in Anaheim. I was completely amazed.
The fact they I know that would have been treated very well behind the stage but still seeing them in this way aches my heart
I am amazed how tamed the lions and tigers are.
There beaten to act like that.
@@Oniontowner yes to entertain the people😒
Beaten and starve by those people. Please don't be amaze instead be disgusted.
@Roberto Estrada how do you know they feed them with drug?
@@Oniontowner I don't think they were beaten that much... You heard news about wild animals attacking trainers. They don't look that thin or shabby. If they were really upset, they'd attack right on the stage!
There is huge difference between Good and Correct.
Exploiting animals to earn money. Taking advantage of feel good factors of spectators though this practice is not correct.
STFU if u do not know anything about their way of life.
The tigers and lions must have been beaten a lot before they have been trained like that!
And drugged. They look so submissive
They don’t even have energy to jump
This is heartbreaking
😂😂😂 yeah sure like it is would be the case dude… polices also beat their dogs rights? Just like army too! 😂😂😂
No they've given love just the same way you would train your dog to do something .now stop believing your childish stereotypes and use your brain for once. It is well known in the circus industry that if you're cruel to an animal it will kill you . And I can provide many videos of how the training is done but of course you don't want to hear the truth do you
@@MoonstoneElementscircuses did this before drugs were strong enough I think
@@gipsymelody1268dogs are domesticated and can be trained normally but you cannot train a wild predator unless by abusing them in some way
I really hope that they're keeping the animals safe and happy since they're performing so amazingly it'd really be such a tragedy if these impressive lions weren't being fed or treated properly
Wow this is really well because he did work with Lions and Tiger's 👍
The Animals Belong Living Free in The Wild that's Where They Belong.
When I was a child I saw a circus performance that was very spectacular, but now when I am an adult, I see this with a very sad meaning, where these animals are forced to perform performances that entertain humans, but sacrifice the animal's identity as an apex predator, hopefully tigers and lions survive in the wild,
Lions and Tigers are my favorite
Here, ladies and gentlemen, we can see the true power of Humans. This is sad and cringe, even though kids are laughing, and the crowd is having an amazing time……. The poor animals are not! Realise this, those cats were abused, injured and emotionally scarred while they were trained….. Save them, that is the only solution…..
Very good, Senpai! You're a special kind of human beeing.
You're watching the show as well. Just enjoy
Really very nice can't explain in words

@@abetterworld96 ofcourse they are not harmed but these animals are not made for some circus...they should live freely in the jungle..and this is not right
Can you imagen how hard for the animals to understand what the people want them to do? Can you imagen what people things need to do for the animals understand them and obey them? This is not the way should act the human. All i can say,.. Godblees you,.
@@abetterworld96 aaaaaaaaaaa
That show was amazing.
Wow amazing, hopefully you always save sir
i have a feeling that the cats might attack him suddenly while watching the video
No they can't
They are trained and habituated
There is always a risk with the great cats. Any trainer will tell you that no matter how well they are habituated, lions are still lions, and there's no tamer who ever lived who didn't have close calls at times. Every one I've ever heard of have scars from actual attacks that they survived.
But the cats don't *usually* attack, and they're certainly trained often to pretend they're being aggressive when they're really just performing as instructed. I guarantee you in this video, the tamer wasn't in real danger when the lioness snarled and snapped at him, for example, because when he'd backed her up to her seat, he took his eyes off her to make a joke to the audience about it. A seasoned circus performer might certainly make a joke about a narrow escape in order to make it look like part of the performance and keep the crowd from being truly alarmed, but he would have kept his eyes firmly on the disobedient cat while he did it. He would never have turned to the audience while an unruly lioness whom he'd just settled down resumed her place behind him.
There have been many real injuries and some deaths from the cats; most in rehearsal, a few in performance. These are living animals, they have moods, and there is always, always a chance on any given day that one will decide to act up. But most of the time when it *looks* like a cat is acting up, it's just because that's what they've been trained to do as part of the show.
I hope they do so using animals for ppl entertainment is so wrong man
@@norarivkis2513 yeah i think other cats would have done something to save the man if that lioness's reaction was real
@Paramount 7P Probably not -- don't mistake their thought process for anything like that of humans. They're creatures of feeling and instinct, not thought. Often, when one cat in the ring acts up, the others will also, because their behavior makes the others edgy and stressed. But they don't treat it like a linear thought process: "they're acting angry at the person I like/therefore that person is in danger/therefore I have to stop them." It's more like the others see distress or irritability signs and they don't know why; they feel tension coming from their trainer and don't know why that's happening either, and they're watching things happen in the ring that they know shouldn't be happening but they've got no idea what has pulled their world off its axis or how to get it back. They can't logically figure out that protecting their trainer would be useful. They just know that everything is going wonky and everybody around then is upset, and so it upsets them too, enough that they can lash out at anyone including their trainer, just from anxiety and confusion.
All of that means that a cat in the same ring with one who's acting up is actually more likely to be a second threat to the trainer than they are to be his champion. Not because they're mad at him, because they're freaking out and don't know what to do, and an upset lion or tiger lashes out at anybody nearby.
This is one of the reasons a cat trainer's first line of defense is to get all the cats sitting in their individual places, and as quickly as possible. Every single day, they practice the 'place' command... not because the cats haven't long since learned it perfectly, but so that obeying it will be absolute ingrained and almost automatic. That does two things: first, it means the trainer can much more quickly get control back over a disobeying cat (even if they've blown off an order, they're much less likely to blow off *that* order); and second, it means that all the *other* cats see that the trainer has restored dominance over the disobedient cat and everything is again the way it should be, so they are more likely to stay calm.
If you're interested in the psychology of cat work, check out the book _Tiger, Tiger_ by Charly Baumann. He was Ringling Brothers' cat expert long before this video, and he worked with lions for the first part of his career and mostly tigers for the second, and built the classic Ringling cat act which this one is based on. It explains a lot about how they're trained and what you can and can't count on them for.
I equally feel as sorry for the animals as I do the showman, he must probably live in constant adrenaline rush doing this for a living, and the constant fear of the possibility of these beasts turn to their rogue instincts without notice...I could not handle it
It's the showman's choice to do this. The animals fear that whip for it's the same the same weapon he uses for training. How ever, one mistake and he's done. You can see how they are growling and hitting the weapon ? They are looking for a wrong move so they can pounce on him. I don't understand how parents can bring their children to see this. I've seen them attack the trainer..

Thank you for watching videos on FreeTelevision. I do appreciate your comments and concerns about Big Cats shows by Ringling Brother's Circus. Just so you know, Ringling Brother's closed their doors for good on May 21, 2017 after 146 years of service. Some of you wanted to know what happened to those tigers. You will be glad to know, they are sent to Sanctuary where tigers can roam freely. Ringling’s circus tigers finally have a retirement home. "15 of those Ringling tigers had arrived at their new home: a Tennessee sanctuary called Tiger Haven, where they are now living out their years on a wooded, 45-acre refuge alongside more than 250 other big cats retired from performing groups, relinquished by zoos or rescued from private owners."

Yep..until those animals giving him a good big bite on his neck and throat
He talks with them though stick, and I think it is electrified stick.
Just heartbreaking I want them free 😭💔😢
They can't go in the wild unfortunately because they don't know how to survive in the wild. But I'd adopt them and love them with all my heart and give them a better life. I can't stand animals suffering like that. These big cats have the power to swallow someone whole yet they don't even swipe a paw. One of these days I'm going to save a lion or tiger from the circus. If those circus guys aren't willing to treat a big cat with respect, then I am.
It's a shame you people don't ever have any evidence only stereotypes
