Citing high operating costs and declining ticket sales the circus is closing. I always felt bad for the animals, but man no more circus? Sad really. Who doesn't remember going to the circus when they were kids?
"The Ringling Bros. circus is closing down after more than 100 years in operation, according to a press release from Feld Entertainment, which has owned the circus for the last 50 years."
