Comments: This circus sucks. They abuse all their animals to the point where they have repeatedly been cited by the USDA. Their Animal Trainers, beat, Poke, Prod, and scream at their animals until they are so frightened and hurt they do stupid circus tricks. Don't attend any Circuses put on by these people. They need to have their animals removed and are currently under investigation. Don't condone circus animal abuse by attending this circus.

Comments:Hi Victoria, I performed with you in 1950 in the Peaches Sky Review. Remember the double decker cab fifth wheeler that pulled our trailer. I have very fond memories of you, Peaches and Simmy. I saw the pictures of yours and George's children on your web site. Beautiful family.
I remember when you first fell in love with George. You were so starry eyed.
I married my "Iggy" in 1952 and we had 3 great children.
Unfortunately "Iggy" passed away in 1994. We had 42 great years together.
Well, that's all I have to say, except, hello, nice to catch up with you via the Internet.

Comments:Saw your show today while traveling through. Really Great. The clown doll routine was brilliant, kudos to author, and the kid with the batons was top shelf. I've never seen circus elephants look so happy while working. The Knie (Swiss) Cirque got nothing on ya. Those animal right folks should catch your show, and take of their blinders.
Highest Regards,

Comments:Hi! I was doing a web search and stumbled across your site and boy did it bring back memories for me. I used to live in Ft. Lauderdale and would visit the Swap Shop on weekends and Thursdays where we would sell some stuff. (My now ex-husband, and my daughter who was just a baby at the time) I used to LOVE the show and had most of it memorized as I watched with wonder the tricks the elephants would do. I now live in the Tampa/St. Petersburg FL area and I miss not being able to see the show over and over again. George Hanneford III, YOU ROCK! I can still picture you ending the show with the handsprings and standing - arms raised - to applause. One day I'll try to get back just so I can see the show again. Is it true that one of your elephants was used in Smokey & the Bandit Part 2? If so, which one? It was that search that brought me to your site as I love (and have always loved) elephants. When I was little, I wanted one of my own! You are the luckiest man on the planet to have and be able to care for 3 of those beautiful animals. Thank you for putting up the site and bringing back memories of a wonderful time in my life! I will definately see the show if I'm ever in town again! Take care and God Bless!

Comments:As a young child My Dad would bring me to the circus every year during the thanksgiving week when there were here in new orleans. At age 16 I wanted nothing more than to join the circus. with my moms blessings I contacted Tommy hanneford and less than a week later found myself in sunny sarasota florida working for the royal hanneford circus. Now at age 40 I continue to love the circus life and while I can not speek for all circus acts I can say that the hanneford animals are much loved and well cared for.
As a animal lover myself I would not see it any other way.
As for life in the circus, the days are long, and the work is hard! but the rewards are great!
Between the travel and seeing the joy brought to both young and old circus life for me has been truly rewarding.
may all of your days be circus days!

Comments:I would like to respond to Saddened 14 year old from Florida his comment is below. First off cited 7 times in my opinion is good. Please tell me of one nursing home that has not been sited well over 50 times in florida and those are people or perhaps a resturaunt that has not passed health inspection it's first time. Or even a building that has not been sited by a fire marshall. Fire marshall's come every yer to inspect the a building and seem to find something every year does that mean the one from the year before did not do his job or the fact that they are there to generate money and don't want to lose their job. Walk into any nursing home in florida and they will have atleast 15 lawsuits against them (this is common)
and thats a good nursing home. Saddened 14 I don't know what your parents do for a living but please ask them if their business gets inspected every year what were the violations, there are always violations or there would be no need for the inspector.
So in my opinion 7 violations is very good.

Name: Saddened 14 year old from Florida
Comments: I read on a website that this specific circus has been cited 7 times - Hanneford Family Circus has failed to meet minimal federal standards for the care of animals used in exhibition as established in the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has cited Hanneford Family Circus several times for failure to provide proper food, veterinary care records, and secure enclosures.
Now what exactly is up with this? dont you think animal abuse by using hooks and beating them to get them to perform tricks only stimulating to an obviously immature and ignorant mind is fun? It simply amazes me that you can continue with this! there are many circuses on this earth that do not use animals in their acts, and yet they maintain a well known reputation for being entertaining. It just seems that it is so quite humorous, that such ignorance is still around america. And it is such a riot to see that the ft. lauderdale swap shop could care less! this truly shows the type of "humanity" found in florida. Continue your acts, but know inside of your hearts what you are doing is wrong, and you could easily let the poor creatures you force into tricks be free. have a good day, and even though the most likely outcome of this is that you will simply brush it off, as i am sure you do many other things, god bless.
