New Kelly Miller Circus Owner Takes Wild Animals Out of the Show

Following declining ticket sales and public outrage over its cruel animal acts, former Kelly Miller Circus owner John Ringling North II was forced to sell the circus and retire at the end of its 2017 season. In a decision consistent with growing public opposition to the use of animals for entertainment, incoming owner James Kendrick Judkins has confirmed to PETA that his production of the circus won’t include any wild animals!

Please thank the circus for this compassionate decision on its Facebook and Twitter accounts or by e-mail at [email protected].

“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 Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
