No it is not the big Ringling Circus, but it is probably closer to what the original circus was like. The fairgrounds will be filled by the "big top" which is actually pulled up by use of the circus elephants.
Three rings are set up inside the big tent and the animals, clowns and trapeze acts perform.
It is a shame although somewhat funny that PETA has decided to protest. They are saying that the elephants are trained by using cruel instruments such as large hooks or prods to make them learn to do their tricks.
Well, Peta -
Have you ever seen cattle loaded into a chute with a cattle prod?
Have you ever seen a jockey use a whip on the backside of the winning horse around the last curve?
Have you ever seen how fish are caught and realed in with a sharp hook?
Have you ever seen a cop use a taser gun on a rowdy student?
Where are you Peta when a herd of half starved horses that are not being fed is taken by animal services?
Why dont you find a good cause PETA - there is true animal cruelty out there.
Let the Circus Roll!

Animal cruelty is rampant in circuses. All you have to do is think. Most of these animals' lives are spent in trucks, cages, chains, and on hard concrete which they're unaccustomed to. This causes a multitude of disease and joint issues for these animals who are meant to walk tens of miles each day. Keeping them for dull entertainment is cruel and unusual punishment. PETA is not only going after the circus; they are railing against a wide range of abuses.
I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
