Ringling Bros is returning

Well, I was with a different show and probably don't really feel the attachment that many fans do. Also, as strange as it sounds, they are a big company that has other parts of it that were more profitable than the circus. I am also personally annoyed with them using African Elephants that do not like being around people. 

I hope they learned from their mistakes and are going to have a better show. If they don't shoot themselves in the foot again i think it will be good for clowning in general. They were once a leader and training clowns. Thier PR Machine is also a powerful force. It will help push back against the creepy clown stuff we have seen over the last few years. 

@zeeppo they have already said they won't have animals, tho they had stop using african elephants in the 70s I believe & had asian elephants but elephants that grew up in zoos/circuses like being around people/other animals, 

Like I said they were not my show. My show we had a vet on the road with us and they had always used Indian elephants. PT Barnum knew he should have been using Indian Elephants in the 1880's. 

I am happy that they are not using animals. It is very hard keeping more than a dozen elephants happy on the road. 

They are owned by Feld Entertainment. Alot of things went wrong for them after they were bought by Feld.
