Think about this people.......

Do you really think it's ok that animals live this way ?
Cramped into trailers and mistreated for your
entertainment?

You are all ignorant if you think this is ok !

Hugh Jass June 16, 2011 17:29:34 (EDT)

I love the circus,can't wait to see all the animals. If you don't like it don't go,some people enjoy it.Why ruin it for the people that want it.

Cheryl June 16, 2011 09:30:02 (EDT)

yup, I can't help but feel sad and angry about this Circus coming to town. If this anger has been directed towards the wrong group of people than I'm sorry. But Plain and simple.......Circus' are cruel and dangerous. They teach nothing more than a life of confinement with submission... (more)

Sure is a small handful of very angry people on here..trying to speak for many. What will they do with themselves in a few days when it's all over? Then maybe everyone can go back to to all those happy thoughts of Bensons.

Dwaine High June 15, 2011 14:58:30 (EDT)

I don't understand why so many people are badgering the Benson's Park Committee about the circus coming to town? It would seem to me that a public awareness effort to help boycott the event would make more sense.Or aim your concerns toward the town. Don't get me wrong.Since hearing about this... (more)

Cheryl June 15, 2011 14:18:38 (EDT)

Thanks for the committee info.

The Benson Park Advisory Committee is there to give advice?
To who ?

The best advice should be......NO CIRCUS in Hudson or anywhere !!!!

They are and should be a thing of the past !
Please Stop this from happening.

TONY June 15, 2011 09:28:42 (EDT)

Send these coments to the Nashua Telegraph !!!

Send them now !!!

There is still time to make a difference !!!!

Wilbur Mercer June 14, 2011 19:57:48 (EDT)

PLEASE stop this circus from happening in our town. All circuses are bad, but this one is an abomination. It took about .5 seconds on Google to see the true nature of this enterprise. And what you will find aren't just complaints from patrons (although those are plentiful too), these are huge... (more)

Mia DeFilippis June 14, 2011 17:32:27 (EDT)

Hello, I would like to ask that the Town of Hudson ban together with Benson's as well and protest this circus from coming into our town!! They abuse the animals as well as have over 160,000.00 in fines from the USDA!! Please don't help them out by allowing them to perform in our town!! I hope... (more)

Benson Park Committee June 14, 2011 15:13:39 (EDT)

Just to clarify, the only "committee" that the Town of Hudson created for Benson Park is the " Benson Park Advisory Committee " that being said the above mentioned town committee had nothing to do with the sponsoring of the Cole Brothers Circus of the Stars coming to Hudson, NH June 18 & 19.

TONY June 14, 2011 07:44:14 (EDT)

The fact that animals are forced into this life of leg chains and trailers is more than abusive. It's cruel and unusual punishment. Knowing that Cole Brothers has been cited and fined for so much abuse, makes it just plain wierd that this committee hired them ! It's creepy that this is... (more)

Linda June 14, 2011 00:28:24 (EDT)

There are other ways to fundraise rather than hiring a circus that abuses animals. This is very sad that you have hired Cole circus.

For your next fundraiser,
please try to think of something else besides what's
coming up.

Circus' really are a thing of the past.
It's not fair to these beautiful animals !
And it's not safe for the public.

You are a dedicated group,
find another way...........

Jay Knox May 31, 2011 22:41:38 (EDT)

Made a trip to Bensons while we were up north this week, Congrats to all involved in the ongoing changes. Cindy and Ann met us well so that made it even better. Once again relived many memories. Gill and Chris were with us also their first trip back to "home". Got to see Dennis also just needed... (more)

To bad all those wonderful volunteers are resorting to a circus to help with the effort. There's got to be a better way ! Hope Hudson isn't the place where an elephant snaps and hurts someone ! Can't blame them, but for some reason people call them bad, instead of mistreated to the brink... (more)
