					<description><![CDATA[Animal rights groups have scored a major victory against the Greatest Show On Earth, but that isn&#8217;t stopping the protests. The Ringling Brothers and Barnum &#38; Bailey Circus, America&#8217;s best-known circus, announced Monday it will relocate all its elephants to a conservation center here in Florida by the end of May.
