Ringling Bros. will permanently close their touring circus in May. The Greatest Show on Earth and legacy of PT Barnum will be no more.

What kind of job can you get with "Trains elephants" or "Tiger wrangler" on your resume?

Remembering that zoos are poo-pooed by the animal rights activists as well.

I took my daughters yesterday and they loved it. They didn't do much with animals though, camels, dogs, and tigers only.

There were some protesters outside the arena but we parked in the geico garage so I didn't get to walk by them.

Personal trainer at planet fitness for the first one. Bouncer at a gay bar for the second one.

But only after Ringling Bros. got $24M from those rights groups in anti-defamation lawsuits

sad to see it finally die after all these years. i had heard their crowds were going down year after year, but took a big turn after they stopped showing the elephants. its almost as if the people shouting at them the loudest to stop animal abuse didnt buy tickets...
