Saw the RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY circus train on my way home. Didn't get a picture (would of been hard), but this picture is similar to what I saw:
1st time I've ever seen a "passenger train" in Columbus, so I naturally thought it was pretty cool, even if it was just a circus train.

Using rail cars for circuses and elephants started in Columbus from the Sells Brothers Circus. Sells Brothers was sold to, you guessed it, Ringling Brothers.

I might go tonight. I watched them walk down Niel Ave on Tuesday night. You are all just jealous that Elephants get to ride on trains in Cols. and you can't.

Maybe you could consider showing these videos to your niece and nephew and ask them if they would still want to support that business or perhaps a local sanctuary instead.

I really hope you don't have children.
P.S. The 5 year old may like The Wilds snarf, I'm thinking of taking my nephew this year...no way in hell for the 3 year old though.

They are 3 and 5.
The videos could be too much for them, however knowing myself at ages 3 and 5, I would have preferred the truth and empowerment of a choice instead of white washed lies and ignorantly participating in something I would never agree with. (I regret that I did for so many years for those very reasons)Clearly a more delicate approach is warranted to discussing the same information. This approach would give them the choice to decide and is clearly more age appropriate (I do not, however, know if the circus is addressed):

That's one of the lamest things I've seen written in a while. And I'm on the internet all day.
By all means let's make sure a 3 year old is exposed to as much horrific "truth" as possible as early as possible. God knows we wouldn't want anyone to be 3-years old and not already terrified by the world.
Would you also have preferred to know at 3-years old that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairey and Jesus were all fake too?
Get a life dude.

Had a blast at the Circus on Saturday. My favorite part were the tigers (one of the white ones was extra pissy and disobedient) and then the steel sphere with all the motorcycles.
There were a few protesters outside with gross pictures of elephants on signs. Why are protestors always fat and ugly? Seems a common trend.

I always wondered why people with radical bumper stickers are always driving something like a 1983 Mercury Topaz, with no A/C and the windows down.

A culture of lies breeds ignorance, that's why.

Read the order of dialog before you make an ass of yourself. Ages obviously impact the method of message. 3 year old children can be rationalized with.
