California Circus Bill Signed Into Law
The Circus Cruelty Prevention Act, a bill cosponsored by PETA intended to end circus cruelty in California, has passed! It bans the use of most animals in circuses in that state.
“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
