Yes. Zoo in forest its something else. Animals look happy there, the environment looks much friendly.
This circus had 4 pony...at least thats all I saw. I felt a bit confused when saw them...I felt a bit sad and remembered a story I've read to my son about a pony that ran from circus and ended up on a farm.
They had to do a walk...nothing fancy. It wasnt a big deal but still...I didnt feel comfortable.
