“This was a difficult business decision to make, but by ending the circus tours, we will be able to concentrate on the other lines of business within the Feld Entertainment portfolio.Now that we have made this decision, as a company, and as a family, we will strive to support our circus performers and crew in making the transition to new opportunities.”
After 36 years of PETA protests, which showed the world the plight of animal captivity, PETA heralds the end of the saddest show on earth.

PETA is asking all other animal circuses to follow suit, as this is a sign of changing times.

36 years of PETA protests, documenting animals left to die, & beaten animals has reduced attendance to the point of no return. #RinglingBros
