Michael Brother of Jerry

Very early in my life, possibly because of the insatiable curiosity that was born in me, I came to dislike the performances of trained animals. It was my curiosity that spoiled for me this form of amusement, for I was led to seek behind the performance in order to learn how the performance was achieved. And what Ifound behind the brave show and glitter of performance was not nice. It was a body of cruelty so horrible that I am confident no normal person exists who,once aware of it, could ever enjoy looking on at any trained-animal turn.
