Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Just Officially Closed Down
(ANTIMEDIA) In a sign of the times, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus performed for the last time Sunday evening. The show is the latest to succumb to changing societal attitudes toward forcing animals to perform in entertainment acts for humans.
The last installment of the “greatest show on earth,” as the circus called itself, was performed at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., and a second faction of the traveling show put on its last show in Rhode Island last month.
