The Circus Comes to Town!

I haven't been to a circus since my childhood and have no wish to go again! I know little about this circus apart from two 'Wall of Death' motorcyclists crashing into each other, thus ending up in hospital with broken ribs and head injuries, this occurred last year.
There appears to be no evidence of animals being involved in this particular circus, which for me is positive as research shows that the animals are not treated particularly well. 

It would've been hard to do something else, to as it were, run away from the circus and become an accountant. Samuel West
