RIO GRANDE — While cars streamed into the parking lot of the Cole Bros. Circus performances in Rio Grande Aug, 11 for the first show of the evening , animal activists Barbara Allison and JoAnn Wildman held signs and passed out literature at the entrance on Fulling Mill Road.
Allison said Cole Bros. elephants appeared to be underfed and animals were kept in cages for 22 hours per day.
