Yes. When I saw this and other related stories, I couldn't help but think, "Hmm, clever way to suppress protest in a pro animal protection region of the US; hire a local to be ringmaster." Seems to be working very well for Ringling Brothers!

Ringling hasn't suppressed protests by animal advocates which saw record numbers of advocates protesting in San Jose and will continue at the Cow Palace & Oakland. What they have done is gotten the media to ignore those protests most likely by buying advertising. However, Ringling patrons did not ignore the protests and were very receptive to the irrefutable evidence that Ringling beats their elephants.
