Hah, I think your pictures are great sooo dont worry about 70,100 or 50000 lens haha :D eyes of beginner don't see the difference. Next time someone will be raising hand in front of you, just slap him from behind :D I've seen some videos on YT of people doing it haha :D

and btw it's kinda new trend I kept noticing in circuses. That they drop animals. I tool a blablacar ride like a year ago with some circus member and he told me how much more money in various donations the circus gets if they don't do animal performances. He actually even ,mentioned the smell you're talking about. That they save sooo much money on cleaning the cages and feeding animals etc etc. So I guess it's win win, let the animals live!
