Its too bad that they didn't have the technology that they have now. They could have nipped it in the bud.
I remember about 50 years ago, when it was still call the Harrington Fair, they had a huge steel cage shaped like a ball. A fellow and his wife rode motorcycles all around it. At the end of the act they brought out a little car, like the one in the photo, and put a lion in it and drove up and down and all around. The poor lion looked like he was scared to death. It was the funniest thing I had seen at the tender age of 12.
