I like your yt name. One trip to Manhattan other than Ringling Brothers with my Dad, we walked all the way up town in the cold to the Cloisters. A nice lady there invited us to the Blue Ridge mountains. And now I live near the brm's. My Dad took us to a circus in Puerto Rico too, all good memories. And I took my son to another circus in PR too and got a pic of him on an 8 hundred lbs tiger at that one. The tiger did have a chain, but didn't seem unhappy. The owners told us they were feeding them lots of raw ground beef.
I never went to a real circus as a kid. They never came around close enough to where I grew up. I tried to go to an RBBB a few years ago with my daughter but there were so many animal rights protesters we decided to just leave. They are starting up again but now without animal acts. I'm guessing it will be more like Circ du Soleil.
Share your favorite circus memory. Mine was watching Gunther Gabel Williams of RBBB with the lions and tigers!
My Dad took me to see that .. loved to be able to spend time with Dad. I wish I dared to be expressive. I kind of always saw myself as Spock.

Sounds like great memories, thanks for sharing and for watching!
You know you abuse your animals
