Carson & Barnes Circus Canceled 2017 Summer Tour
Carson & Barnes Circus announced on Facebook that it would be canceling its tour for the remainder of the summer because of “unseen [sic] circumstances with additional financial burdens.”
“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
