Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus is Closing

I hate to see animals mistreated, and I know that some shows/animals/trainers are better or worse than others-

But a big part of me feels like this might be the only chance a lot of kids get to see some of these animals in person- And I can’t help wondering how many of those kids could grow up to be the next Jane Goodall or Steve Irwin or Rachel Carson or Jaques Cousteau, and whether that might not happen without that experience.
