My wife is studying to become a vet and just came back from a volunteer trip in Thailand at the Elephant Nature Park, a rescue and rehabilitation center for mistreated elephants around the world. It is disgusting what RB did with those animals.

Neither one of us are liberal shit heads.

I'm not defending the circus. Just the different times. Making humans fight lions was once popular entertainment.

Ah, I see. FWIW - I am a supporter of bringing back the gladiator arena as a means for death row.

Atlanta sports fans will love that and support it.

I'm sorry your parents and grandparents hated you so much.

Well, in their defense, RB didn't accept government blocks of cheese or boxes of powdered milk. I suppose that could be interpreted as hate.

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

"Is it sad because the circus is closing or the mere fact that it was 146 years old? "

Both. Glad I experienced the circus as a kid in real life instead of on a video game.
