They wouldn’t last long in nature.
Any dwarves? I could take one or two. Precious, adorable dwarves...
Anywhere but the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Center for Elephant Conservation center...
Should have taken some out after the show and shot them in front of the protesters and said “You win”.
Circuses really are an anachronistic throw-back to an earlier low tech age. I’m surprised that they have lasted as long as they have in today’s high tech age. I think it’s time.
There are many preserves in the USA.
North Carolina has the best Zoo in the nation and Tennessee has a wonderful elephant habitat.

This is something I would pay for.
As much as I hate to see Ringling shut down, I guess all things come to an end.
At least they are all edible. Buy more charcoal.
Too bad they couldn’t have set up a year-round show in Florida, in good permanent quarters.
One thing I never saw but wish I has was when Ringling Bros did their shows at Madison Square Garden they'd march their elephants in procession through the Midtown Tunnel and across Manhattan to the West Side.It my understanding that that was an impressive sight.

At the 2:00 mark Laura Ingle reports “All those animals have been placed, but the acrobats and circus performers are out of work ...” Fake news? “We report, you decide.”
BTW, I am very thankful for my long association with
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus/Feld Entertainment over the years. In the 70s I audited Clown College with Hall of Fame Clown “Papa” Lou Jacobs, not only my mentor, but Jimmy Stewart’s tutor for his role in “The Greatest Show On Earth”. Over the years I was often granted exemptions to perform with union musicians at the circus. P.T. Barnum is rolling in his grave.
