Ha, yes! We wondered if there would be animal acts -- figured probably not. There was one, but it was a titanium robot dog. Sort of interesting and funny for the tots/rubes, but conflicted with the spirit of the show, I thought.
Decades ago in Atlanta, I went to see the Moscow Circus in an old arena that has since been torn down. I was with my ex-husband and our daughter who was about 4. We were actually in the front row, and I became concerned during the lion taming act: Would the big cats escape and attack us? The ex’s favorite act was the voluptuous young woman who was keeping about 25 Hula Hoops going for several minutes. Very different kind of circus.

That poor old guy!

I meant to reply to you but added it as another comment up there instead.
