This is how they "train" the elephants. This poor baby.

Thank you everyone who turned out to help the animals and it was nice to meet everyone on both days of the protest. Hopefully this will open the eyes to our selectmen, school board and people who live in Hudson and in the neighboring communities about the abuse and unnatural ways that the animals... (more)

Trevor, is it really necessary to curse and swear on this message board? Your point brings up a good argument (I'll admit this even though I don't subscribe to anything you say) but you've construed your statement like a child. Name calling and swearing is something you probably should have... (more)

Thank you for posting, Judy. It's important that people are aware of these things. Despite many improvements since the days of Benson's, animal cruelty is still a huge issue, and the easiest thing all of us can do as informed and conscientious residents is to spread the word. The town of Hudson... (more)

God bless you Judy and Vicki! It's so nice of you to help us see the light. You are so lucky to know for a fact how everyone treats and cares for their animals. Please continue to protect us from those evil circus folk.

Vicki July 4, 2012 14:30:22 (EDT)

Very, Very, Very disappointed in my town (Hudson, NH) officials and school board for allowing the Kelly Miller Circus to perform today and tomorrow. I think a better fund raiser could have been done. Just think Benson's Wild Animal Park caged animals for display just like the circus. What is wrong... (more)

Hey Benson's! It's been while. I'm sure most of you agree with Trevor's mistrust of sexually assaulted minors, but is the potty mouth really necessary? This is a family website Trevor, we exploit animals and waste money.... but we DO NOT use curse words. Can't stay and chat, but I'll be back... (more)

Go Trevor!!!

Trevor June 19, 2012 21:32:10 (EDT)

Judy, please shut up. No one cares about your stupid, tree hugging, PETA loving, bullshit rhetoric . Does anyone think Bensons wasn't guilty of the same treatment of animals? Guy was charged, which whIle being a serious charge, was he convicted? Do you know intimately the detailts of the case or... (more)

Benson s has invited another Circus. Circus animals are unwilling and abused to perform. The Kelly Miller circus also has had an employee charged with rape of a 14 year old. Kelly Miller Circus USDA License #73-C-0021, P.O. Box 829, Hugo, OK 74743 Kelly Miller Circus has failed to meet... (more)

I have a park map, parking ticket and ticket entry stubs all noted as "Bensons last day - 10/12/87". That would have been Monday, Columbus Day. Is that correct as the last day? Thnx

Sheila June 13, 2012 10:58:31 (EDT)

When I was younger I used to go to Bensons every summer at least twice per summer..I use to think it was funny when I would sit down near the lake area and the squirrels would run up my body and sit on my shoulder.. Then I got married years later After that I brought my son he was only 1 at the... (more)

@Toni: I DO remember the PA playing Bad Girls! (Kinda remember Emmy Lou the emu tearing around the park to that music.) That song always makes me remember that photo booth playing a continuous loop of Benny Benson saying "...and you forgot your camera..." (always wanted to secretly unplug that... (more)
