Despite growing nationwide opposition to the use of wild animals for entertainment, Bruno’s Tigers is scheduled to perform at the Mercer County Fair in Ohio from August 14–19, 2026. The traveling act, operated by Brunon Blaszak, forces tigers to perform demeaning circus tricks such as jumping through hoops and walking across a high wire. These stunts do not teach respect for endangered animals. They teach audiences that powerful wild cats exist for human amusement.
