Ringling Bros. circus closes after over 100 years.
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will officially close in May, after 146 years of performances, according to the Associated Press. The Greatest Show on Earth is officially coming to an end after declining attendance numbers over the last few years.
After the announcement, the animal rights group PETA immediately declared the closing of the Ringling Bros. circus a victory. Last year, the company decided to retire their elephants following backlash from animal activists and fans. However, between January and May, the circus is expected to hold 30 more performances before closing the curtain for good.
