	Definition of Circus (performing art)
		Animals in circuses are often portrayed as either ferocious or stupid compared to their "brave" or "commanding" human counterparts; their true nature is never seen.
		Few circuses have the funds or the desire to put much money into comfortable winter shelters, since off-season housing is used for only a few months per year.
		After circuses are done with animals, they are either permanently relegated to winter quarters (often cages) or are sold to other circuses, zoos, private menageries, game farms (to be shot for recreation or for exotic meat), or even research laboratories.
