Love it or hate it, people have opinions on the circus
Some well-known fans
took to Twitter to mourn.
Basketball star Shaquille
O’Neal wrote on Twit-
ter: “’’noooooo pls don’t
close
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
nooooooooo noooooooooo.”
Singer Donnie Walhberg
recalled when New Kids on
the Block played with de la
Soul at Madison Square Gar-
den with Ringling. “dancing
on elephant dung!” he tweeted.
Former Arkansas Gov.
Mike Huckabee took to Twit-
ter to bemoan the show’s
end. “Greatest Show on Earth
won’t be seen by future gener-
ations. Thanks for the memo-
ries, RB!”
However, fondness for
the circus was not univer-
sal. Actress and animal rights
advocate Pamela Anderson
wrote, simply: “It’s over!”
And Ingrid Newkirk, president
of People for the Ethical Treat-
ment of Animals, claimed
victory.
“We’ve been protesting
the circus vigorously for 36
years since our inception,” she
said. “We see this as a won-
derful evolution in human
awareness.”
After the news broke, cir-
cus fans ran out to get tick-
ets for “The Greatest Show on
Earth.”

Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Reac-
tion to news that the Ringling
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Circus was closing after 146
years — from saddened celeb-
rities to elated animal rights
advocates — flew as fast as a
flying trapeze.
Feld Entertainment, owner
of the iconic circus, broke
the news to circus employ-
ees Saturday night that the
show would close perma-
nently in May. The reasons
cited for the closure were fall-
ing ticket sales, high oper-
ating costs, changing public
tastes in entertainment — and
prolonged battles with animal
rights groups.

more, there’s just a whole part
of Americana that’s gone.”
Kay Baker, a 57-year-old
office coordinator in Lexing-
ton, Kentucky, recalled fondly
how when she was a child,
she’d purchased a chameleon
at the circus one year that lived
for about a year. Over the years
she brought her child, then her
grandchildren, to the circus.
But she gradually noticed a
change in quality.
“I thought the show had
deteriorated. It didn’t have as
much trapeze artists and those
kinds of acts. There were peo-
ple riding motorcycles around
ramps. To me, it wasn’t even
the circus anymore.”
She was also torn between
her magical childhood memo-
ries and her feelings of unease
about the performing animals.
“I’m such an animal lover,
it breaks my heart to see them,”
she said. “It saddens me. Now
it doesn’t entertain me.”

old entertainment production
manager, said she rushed out
to buy tickets for the Orlando
show on Sunday.
“When I think of a circus, I
think of childhood, and I think
we all want to recapture who
we were,” she said. “To just
have that one last moment of
recapturing your childhood,
that’s what provoked me to
buy the tickets today.”
Marvin
Freeman
of
Orlando, who bought tickets
for Sunday’s show, had adored
the elephants before they were
removed from the show in
2016 following costly years
of litigation with animal rights
groups.
“Because, you could be
down in the first row and the
ground would bounce up and
down, you could smell it and
say, here they come! Now, it’s
just terrible,” he said. “What
do you do? No clowns any-
more, no trained dogs any-
