After 146 Years, Ringling Brothers Circus Finally Driven Out of Business by Crazed PETA Attackers

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



The clowns, animal acts and acrobats of the storied Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus are taking their final bow at an arena outside New York City on Sunday in the farewell performance of the “Greatest Show on Earth” after nearly 150 years

EDITOR’S NOTE: In 2017, there is no bigger bully than the rabid liberal who, while they preach ‘tolerance and diversity’, seek to destroy anyone and everyone who won’t align with their distorted view of the world. If you don’t vote for their candidate, they smash store windows and set cars on fire. If you don’t agree with their gospel of ‘climate change‘, they say you should be put in prison. And if you think that animals should be treated like, well, animals, they drive you out of business. 

Capping a legacy that stretches back to the legendary 19th century showman P.T. Barnum, the circus bids adieu at a series of shows this weekend at newly refurbished Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale on New York’s Long Island.

The final show on Sunday evening was a sell-out and a worldwide audience can watch the event via a live stream on the Ringling website. The finale, announced by parent Feld Entertainment Inc in January, comes a year after the company bowed to pressure from animal rights activists and agreed to stop using elephants in its performances. A featured attraction for more than a century, the elephants had come to symbolize the Ringling Bros brand.

Feld decided to fold up the tent as a result of high operating costs combined with lower ticket sales, it said in a statement at the time. After phasing out the elephants, the owner said, the decline in attendance was “greater than could have been anticipated.”

PETA Protests Ringling Brothers At Bridgestone Arena:

Although it retired its elephants, Ringling Bros continued to showcase tigers, lions, horses, dogs and camels until the end, despite fierce criticism from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

The animal rights group tied Ringling’s demise to its long-standing resistance to demands that it stop using animals

“Circuses around the world that beat Ringling to the punch in making the decision to stop using animals are thriving. But Ringling stonewalled for decades,” PETA said in a statement posted on its website on Saturday.

This is where Liberal Logic will take you:

Liberal progressives and social justice warriors are the most insane people on planet earth. Watch them explain how they want a “White Privilege Tax” a tax break for black people, urinals installed in women’s bathrooms for transgenders, Mount Rushmore torn down for being “racist,” and even a new American flag, because Old Glory hurts their feelings! Media analyst Mark Dice has the story.

The circus has long defended its treatment of animals as humane. “Our audiences today loved seeing horses, dogs and two very talented 700-pound pigs,” Feld spokesman Stephen Payne said on Sunday.

In December, Ringling Bros named Kristen Michelle Wilson as the first female ringmaster in its 146-year history. In making her the 39th person to play the role of circus host, Feld said it was taking a step toward modernizing the circus.

The 13 Asian elephants used in Ringling’s two touring companies were phased out and retired to the company’s 200-acre (81 hectare) Center for Elephant Conservation in Polk City, Florida.

Fewer than 40,000 Asian elephants remain in the wild. About 250 are in captivity in the United States, 26 of which were born in the past 20 years at Ringling facilities. source

      I find it difficult to feel bad for this company when the owners and management were fully aware the trainers would beat the elephants with bull hooks, and beat the lions and tigers into submission so they can jump into a ring of fire. No, im not a member of PETA, but I just think its fucked up and Im glad they are folding the tent.
