St. Maarten Private Eye

Ruby - What's the story?

A reminder to watch Profile (from 7pm till 7:30 pm) this coming Thursday the 8th of June 2006 on channel 15. It will be about how circus animals in general are treated and trained. Be prepared because some parts are horrible and not for little children to see or hear.

Continues Thursday 15th June - 7pm

The program will also be about the two circus animals that are still here on St. Maarten, left behind by the Suarez Bros. Circus.

Remember when the circus arrived on St. Maarten that was the 24th of January 2006. The giraffe and the ostrich are still here today June 6th, 2006. What if we get a hurricane? Who would be responsible? And many more of those questions will be asked.

More can be read below about Ruby the Giraffe and the unnamed one eyed ostrich left behind by Suarez Family Circus in March of this year.

Spread the word around please.

Thanks to the reader that sent this in, hopefully some out there will be able to see it and pass on the word. I am unable to watch, so for those of you that do, please drop us a comment here and let us know more about it. I would like to be able to make such videos available online here on SXM PE one day, but sadly, until someone with cash to spare likes the idea decides to make a donation, it won't happen. - Flipper
