I thought of you immediately when I saw the story earlier tonight. I know I went to see Ringling Bros at least twice at the Garden, and I'm pretty sure my parents took me to see Big Apple out here on Long Island back when the Commack Arena still existed and actually had events like circuses and music concerts (part of Frampton Comes Alive was recorded there -- later it was a skating rink, then a flea market, and now the space it occupied was paved over and it's a parking lot for a big shopping center which includes our local Target).
It's very sad that this art form is dying, with or without animal acts. :(
