The circus is one of many events held during the week-long holiday, which has seen millions of people flooding China's tourist destinations, according to the Xinhua news agency.
This year also marks the 30th anniversary of reforms that have transformed China's role in the global economy.

The horse doesn't look particularly unhappy, just mildly perturbed.

What's cruel is having animals working for humans that other wise should be free in the wild.

I don't see this as any more or less cruel than American rodeos or circuses.

disgraceful animal cruelty...I don't think compassion for life is at the top of their ethics list... unless you are lucky enough to be a panda.
China 'farms' dogs and skinninf them alive is common. they are considered 'farm' animals... FOOD (a 'special treat'), along with endangered species (whales, primates, turtles, tortoises...).
China is one of the top importers for the ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE (seal, walrus, bear, elephant, rhino, primate, turtle, tortoise, shark, tiger...) for trophy and souviner collectors and not to leave out, the huge market for 'Traditional Asian Medicines'.
China has no law protecting animals... the laws for the people are not much better.

There needs to be a significant change in China's social norms in order to stop the rampant animal cruelty that occurs there daily.

That's not right. A lion is a predator, a horse is a prey animal, that horse has to be scared to death. Animal cruelty has to stop being a spectator event.
