A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Ringling Bros Train Tragedy
The second car from the top of this photo(was it # 93?) was my home for two years. Prior to me, it was Charly and Ariceli Baumanns home for a long, long time. We lived in the half to the right of the vestibule door and Axel Gautiers family lived in the half to the left. Thankfully I and the Gautiers left the show at the end of the 1993 season about a month prior to this tragedy. To the left, formerly where the Gautiers lived, was where Ted Svertesky , who had moved in with his family was killed. Just at the end of the car is a car completely on it's side with big doors. That was the generator car where Ceslee Conkling was killed.
I don't know if John Milton recall's or not, but I was at his old place in Sarasota helping him with the Ian Garden Sr. 8 Welsh pony liberty act when we received word of the accident.
