Title: safari park or circus?????
Post by: craig on 16 August 2008, 23:07:29
My missus wants to take the kids to the circus but i would rather go to knowsley safari park on weds!!as i think circus's are very cruel and should be banned as the animals are unpredictable in my opinion and with the onlooking crowd i think it can trigger aggresive behaviour!!
so i was looking on you tube for videos of knowsley and it looks excellent,a good day out:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK67ft3-biU    CHECK OUT THE SILVER MIG ;)



then i tried to explain to her that things don't always go to plan at circus's then i come accross this video at a circus,DO NOT WATCH IF YOU DISLIKE BLOOD AND A LION GETTING SHOT:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqSLWMnc8-c&feature=related

Missus has said that she quite fancies the safari park now ::) :-X
what does everyone else prefer circus or safari??

Chester zoo is very near craig, knowsley aint far either, a member of the zoo so go often....if you got to knowsley - take the car friendly route, protect your car, far funnier to laugh at other cars being destoyed

Not anything to do with the video, but a Safari park trip always gets the thumbs up in my book. :y

Our local trials should be weekend after next (weather dependent)......but, the (forthcoming) International trials would be a better 'family' day out; they`re just up the road from you: http://www.2008internationalsheepdogtrial.com/
We`ll be there each competition day in Kinmel Park, Abergele as we have 'family' competing. :y

Then in Llandeilo a week after the International will be the World Trials: http://www.worldsheepdogtrials.org/new/index.php....We have two of our home-bred exported sheepdogs coming back to the U.K to compete in that trial. :)

Went to Knowsley Safari last year and thought it was really good. It is better than West Midlands Safari and there is a vehicle friendly route to avoid the monkeys, and you still get a good view of them through a wire fence and can laugh at them destroying peoples cars! ;D
