The Circus "NO SPIN ZONE": 04/16/12

Can Anybody Give Me The Legal Definition of Discrimination, Prejudice, and Bias???

Cavalia Horses Return To St. Louis After Storm

Cavalia extends its St. Louis run through April 16

Horses and humans dazzle at Cavalia in St. Louis

'In the top link, I don't see any, not one,
City of St. Louis Animal Control Officer's monitoring
the loading and unloading of the Cavalia horse's.
I wonder why St. Louis feels they need to
monitor, on the tax payer's nickle, the loading and
unloading of Ringling Bros. animals, but don't
feel the same scrutiny is necessary for other
performing animals?  I wonder where peta was at?
What started out with good intentions years ago,
and was beneficial, as with all good intentions,
simple mind's have now turned
into an extremely prejudicial witch hunt.'

And Then Something Like This.....Do We Defend It? Sweep It Under The Rug? Kick It Down The Street? Or Do We Address It As An Industry????

ADI says stars must end their silence on the abuse of animal actors

ADI are currently urging people to contact members of Congress asking them to sign HR 3359 the Traveling Exotic Animal Protection Act, launched in November by award-winning TV show host Bob Barker and CSI start Jorja Fox, to restrict the use of wild animals like elephants in traveling circuses.

For RJR--4 In The Ring

I Barely Get Something Posted, Before Someone is Correcting Me. Geez......... :) Thank You, Bobby.

Wade,

I believe your identification of the Ringling Bros. Circus in Jacksonville is incorrect. I've attached a photo from the Cole Bros. Circus in 1939. As you can see the driver and brakeman have the pith helmets. RBBB stopped the parade in the very early 1920's. The Cole Bros. Circus did play Jacksonville, FL. on Sept. 15 and 16 in 1947. I suspect the person that labeled it didn't know there was any circus other than Ringling / Barnum.

If you go to my blog and scroll down a few, you'll find an 1899 Barnum & Bailey Parade movie with FRITZ walking down the street. That was a great find.

Take care,

Bob

'Interesting to me, because I was born in Jacksonville, Fla. Sept. 16th, 7 years later. Bobby's fine blog is linked on the right in Relevant Stops'
