I would say we could simply go to the old Met Center to watch the circus animals so we could avoid the MinneaCCCPoplis ordinances, but the old Met Center is now an Ikea.

I agree...zoo’s ought to be eliminated as a wasteful amount of money and effort. Why force a polar bear to survive in Atlanta in the summer? Why force Elephants to survive in New York City in the winter? They should all be shut down and the property handed over for homeless shelters.

I got ‘behind the scenes’ at a circus in Rochester a couple of years ago. I saw quite the contrary to abuse.
