I see. Ponnies are still quite ok. I mean of course they would happier if they could roam and run freely on a ranch or somewhere but at least they are domesticated animals that have been living with humans for centuries. Tigers, lions, elephants, bears etc. that´s something else. Circuses that still have these animals, keep them in cages and force them to perform "funny" tricks for the audience are nothing but animal abusers in my book. And I´m pretty sure in yours too ;)
