The circus is an American institution and it's sad that future children won't experience it for themselves, just one more piece of our collective childhood chiseled away by crybaby activists and our own apathy.j-swinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09203258976327949472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-13530093477138949362017-01-16T17:22:00.001-08:002017-01-16T17:22:00.001-08:00I could not agree more.

I would have thought that the value of the Ringling etc. name, the recent attention on clowns, and the continued success of Cirque du Soleil in all its varieties would have encouraged them to try a different direction before folding.)Jonathan Linnemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04711517194240426383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-1768843036463586492017-01-16T06:47:00.290-08:002017-01-16T06:47:00.290-08:00I hate the fair for the same reasons.

My parents brought me to a Barnum & Bailey circus when I was very young, in 1954 I think. (Ancient times)... The only thing I really remember is the smell of some kind of incense from the fire breathers booth and the image of elephants. Never went there since. Not my cup of tea. I hope the animals find good homes.DrGoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687607103991307668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-62596272010516883722017-01-16T06:07:08.088-08:002017-01-16T06:07:08.088-08:00I've always been surprised at the enduring pop...I've always been surprised at the enduring popularity of circuses too, well into the modern age. About time they disappeared, I agree.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.com
