Alfred Court #2

Posted By on November 27, 2011

This was a close call for Alfred. During a performance two of his leopards got into a fight and Alfred tried to brake them up without success. There is an old saying, “never get between the cats during a fight” as bad things can happen as you see here. I know for a fact that our animals come first and you will do just about anything to keep them from harms way. Their well being is as important to them and to you the trainer. The act comes first even before ourselves.  They are our livelihood and our responsibility. This photo of Alfred was taken on the Ringling show 1940.
