After hearing from PETA and PETA supporters about Ringling Bros.’ long history of animal abuse, the online deal site Travelzoo decided to pull all Ringling ticket deals and said that it doesn’t plan to promote Ringling ever again.
“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 President and co-author of Animalkind
