FEATURE - US-Zirkus lässt nach 146 Jahren den letzten Vorhang fallen
January 14, 2017 - File - From New York to Wisconsin to London and beyond, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus has performed for millions of fans during its 146-year reign as one of the world's biggest big tops. The show, which is closing down permanently because of declining ticket sales, has its roots in a spectacle that began two decades before the U.S. Civil War, equal parts zoo, museum and freak show. In 1881 it officially became the circus that generations grew up watching and saw many evolutions over the years, most recently with its decision to retire its elephant acts.

Mar. 31, 2012 - You too can have your own Zoo!...... or Can you?:Today more and more people are rejecting the common cat or dog as the ideal pet animal to have around the house, and are going in for something a little more exciting. A crocodile for instance, or a tiger, or lion, even a puma - the most dangerous cat of all. Moggy, it seems no longer holds it's monopoly over the domestic fireside, he has become too tame. The wild animal as a pet isn't just the prerogative of those with a handy mansion and grounds either, puma's have been known to live in a two-up and two-down. Isn't it a little dangerous, isn't the animal expensive to feed and exercise, sufficiently? You may well ask, and the answer is .. Yes! The ferocity and uncontrollable nature of these beasts can erupt at any moment, particularly when they get beyond the cub stage. An example of this was seen recently when a wild cat ripped the inside of a car apart and attacked it's owner. Yet despite the obvious dangers, and possible inadvertent cruelty to a wild creature caged in domestic surroundings, it is possible for anyone to buy a puma, or any other creature and keep it at home whatever 'home' may be. There is no law, or checks against it, no precautions are required of the owner by law. Sheba, a 6 month puma lives with the Hurst family in their terraced home in Newborough, Lancashire. She has her own enclosure in the garden but spends most of her time with the Hurst children, Julie 12, Anthony 8, and Ian 7. The Hursts are now considering acquiring a male companion for Sheba. Sheba may not be quite secure in her new found position in the family hearth though, because, following the escape of a fellow puma in Herefordshire, called 'Khan', the local M.P. Mr.Peter Temple Morris is to lead an enquiry into the 'domestic/wild animal scene in the House of Commons soon. Khan's escape involved a helicopter search and police alert for 4 days, and much alrm to the local populace. (Credit Image: © Keystone Pictures
