Thank you PETA! I was not going to go to the Circus, but now I am due to your stupidity.

Someone always has to complain. So sad. The circus has been in business a heck of a lot longer than you've been alive. We're going too.

"Mayoral Assistant Laura Schaaf said police and others monitored the demonstration to make sure there were no problems. "I think everyone involved felt as if she was appropriately covered," she said."

I'm glad the police were so worried about public decency, when they could have been patrolling the streets

We are actually more concerned with things that threaten our lives, our children and families, and our commmunity.

I totally agree! If the circuses were so bad there would be alot about them on the news or "youtube" i'm sure.

Circus cruelty has recently been paid attention to on the news here, but because it’s such a huge, contentious issue and there is still little promise that animal circuses are to be banned, it takes something quite big to draw up media interest. However, that doesn’t mean circus cruelty isn’t being covered at all and it’s because of animal charities (not just Peta) raising awareness it that the media is taking any interest at all…
There are terrible things happening all the time, but just because they are not on the news that doesn’t mean they aren’t bad. Search around for human charities as well as animal - they could have some horrible truths right under your nose to reveal, but just because they’re not on the news that often, doesn’t mean they are any better today.

I think the Peta followers need to get a life. Do you think they realize how animals treat other animals in the wild?
Peta's recent headline, trying to get Ben and Jerry's to convert to human breast milk over cow's milk shows they are a little wacky.

Well they don't milk them or make them jump through hoops, that's for sure!
