The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus has finally run it’s course and will cease operations later this year.
After 146-year run, Kenneth Feld, the chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment who owns the circus announced that May 21st at the Nassau County Coliseum in Uniondale, New York will serve as the last show.
Apparently the cause of Circus’ demise was low ticket sales in 2016 which is believed to be stemmed from the inability to beat the shit out of animals anyone. Namely elephants which were taken out of performances in May of last year.
I’m sure some will have a problem with this… I’m guessing the hardcore Ted Nugent type who think any kind of Animal rights is some libtard communist conspiracy.
