From Jim Cole


James E. Strates Shows 1965 Brockton, Mass.

It all started with a monkey show, then a side show banner line and now the Kelly Miller Circus.
How much longer will Mr. Sowalsky allow these outrages to continue?

On the subject of outrages, a friend of mine took his mother to see the Incredible Shrinking Show last night in Orlando and once again panic ruled supreme when one of the rings wouldn't inflate for the equine display.
After order had been restored, his mother asked "Why don't they just use a regular ring?"

I would hate to have to use one of those rubber rings as a life raft. It doesn't seem to be working on this sinking ship either.

Yes, typical 20-something logic: it looks great on paper but will it work CONSISTENTLY through 400 shows per year? Technology is wonderful but I offer this evidence that technology is not infallible: how many times have us computer users wanted to throw the damn thing through the nearest window and go back to paper and pen?

David Rawls once told me that you build everything to be elephant proof! Sure makes sense to me when you have to move it all the time!

Pitt bull proof would be nice. Mine even unlocks gates. She just moves the whole metal post the lock is attached to. Sweetest dog on earth. She just wants to be where I am. So far thats were she is. Maybe I should use "PERSCRIBED REMEDYS" like carol buckley does. I wouldn't do that to a dog, let alone an elephant.

If you can not control an indangered animal in your care with out drugs, you should not be allowed to have them.
