Kids deserve a good time in this circus called life
Re: “Thirty-year battle for elephants ends in success”, Letters, January 18.
When I heard the Ringling Brothers Circus had finally called it quits after 146 years, I said to myself this must tickle Eric Bahrt to death and it did.
Eric, when you were a child, did your parents ever take you to a circus? If they did, were you thrilled or did you just sit there mourning about the animals being abused?
And if you enjoyed it and had the best time of your life, do you think that kids today deserve that precious moment too? Or do you believe that since you are a senior and a circus is no longer a thing for you, it should be banned altogether?
Eric, if I were you, I’d campaign for the junta to prohibit the manu-facturing, sale and consumption of tobacco and alcohol, because I don’t smoke cigarettes and quit drinking a year ago (for financial reasons). I can babble endlessly about the dangers of tobacco and alcohol.
