(2007), discusses about the history of the rising of animal circuses and in addition giving a short overview about animal abuse, the escapes and attacks the bans and the new trends of circuses. Another article, the Three-ring debate, Anonymous (2000), talks about the controversy of whether animals should be banned from performing in circuses because they are not being treated well.
