“Audiences want to be excited a little bit,” says @alexander_lacey_, an animal trainer with @ringlingbros. “Everybody wants to see the trapeze guy fall off and the lion trainer killed.” Like so many other @ringlingbros performers, @alexander_lacey_’s family springs from the circus. His mother and father ran a zoo until he was 6. Then they ran a circus and started breeding big cats. At 12, @alexander_lacey_ announced he wanted to be a lion trainer. “Everyone does,” his father replied and suggested that his son prove his dedication by caring for the animals and picking up their poop for 5 years. @alexander_lacey_ obliged, and at 21, he finally took the stage with his own lions and tigers. But soon, the @ringlingbros circus will be shutting down. After the final show in May, @alexander_lacey_ plans to take his cats and go to Germany to join his brother, another animal trainer and breeder. His wife, Katie, who works at @ringlingbros with the “fuzzies” — the alpacas, llamas and goats — will go along. @nytmills photographed the 41-year-old animal trainer performing with a few of his lions.
