As a senior adult who loves animals dearly, I always loved the circus. Yet, the animals always seemed so sad to me. this year I read a book, "Water for the Elephants". this book touched me dearly, but closer to home, my sister-in-law told me when her father was 16 he ran away to the circus, to the circus in this book. I see your TV ads for this circus, and I wonder, have you checked to see how they treat their animals. Elephants are probably the most abused. I got a pretty good story from my sister-in-law by her father who became a very impressive artist. My only wish is that, if you push the excitement and drama of this circus, please make sure they treat their animals well. Some how I don't think you much care, it is all $$$$ and cents. Right.
