Circus Tigers: Mentally Imbalanced?
An animal trainer works with tigers during the 133rd edition of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus at the Fleet Center in Boston, Mass. An undercover video released by Animal Defenders International shows tigers and other circus animals performing repetitive movements, even when back in their cages. The nonprofit group said in a statement that "these monotonous movements are a sign of mental imbalance."
