Update: After hearing from PETA and our supporters about the cruelty of the circus and the danger to residents, Bellevue officials denied Carson & Barnes a permit to perform. And after PETA sent a letter to the president of Bellevue University asking her not to host Carson & Barnes, PETA also received a call from the university informing us that, having become aware of the cruelty to animals used by the circus, the university had canceled the circus’s appearance.
