A mechanical dog
The granddaddy of them all, RINGLING BARNUM and BAILEY, bowed to the pressure in 2017 to the bellringing of animal welfare organizations, to stop the cruelty to animals.
Claims that animals travel for months in cramped trailers, and do not get enough exercise.
Some animal welfarists, scream at owners who feed their circus animals in pools of excrement.
And then there is tuberculosis. The Centers for Disease Control found TB among some elephants in a US zoo where the disease was transferred to humans!
A Unicyclist that almost reaches the roof of the building!
So, what if you were to attend a circus, and later found that you picked up this crippling disease; no doubt your next action would be a lawsuit.
Barnum, saw the writing on the wall, and dumped the animals. The question is, would the circus without animals be a success?
My research indicates almost a 25% increase in ticket sales.
Barnum came to Baltimore (this Spring 2025); the ingenuity, was the introduction of a mechanical dog.
