Did you know that Ringling (Feld Entertainment) is now countersuing ASPCA, AFI, et al for RICO? Raketerring, (I forget the I), and organized crime for paying Tom Rider 100k to testify against them? They say he lives in his van, and they are only paying him for living expenses. Well, over 7 years, living adds up! I don’t think they have a leg to stand on, personally. One judge has thrown it out already. Yay!
