Please Boycott Most Depressing Show On Earth

Please do not take your children to circuses with performing wild animals. It is time for this cruel and uncivilized practice to end.

to see covert video of RinglingBros and Barnum&Bailey Circus workers beating and abusing these poor creatures. In a pitifully weak reply, RB,B&B Circus questioned the veracity of the videos and cited numerous veterinarian checks. THE VIDEOS ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT FAKED & I would question the veracity of their vet checks and ask if they were able to assess the MENTAL state of these confused and scared animals. Wild animals belong in the wilderness. Animal "training" is only done by using fear and pain. Stealing wildlife from natural habitat and making money off it is WRONG. Come back to our community when you RETIRE ALL PERFORMING WILD ANIMALS!

A great show for kids! The timeless Ringling Brothers circus is just as I remember

I caught them at HP Pavilion in San Jose and just had a wonderful time. My girls were awestruck with their attention constantly held by the acts, lights and fireworks, and dancing. Asked of their favorite part, the list just went on... the elephants, the dogs, the flowers, the horses, no tigers, the gymnasts...

Only criticisms are the outrageous prices for food and other concessions and the animal rights protesters outside who, though I completely understand where they are coming from, should have a little more sense than to protest so overtly where so many toddlers and children are present.
Also, be careful with the inexpensive tickets. You can get to the circus for around $15 but the view is likely obstructed; we completely missed the trapeze artists and spent 15 minutes entertaining the kids.
