Animal Protection Institute meets Ringling Bros. Circus’ arrival in LA with thirty anti-circus billboards. “When you buy a ticket to the circus, the animals pay the price. People mistakenly believe

that animals aren’t mistreated in larger circuses like Ringling Bros.,” said Dena Jones,

Program Director for the Sacramento-based Animal Protection Institute. “Unnatural living

conditions, brutal training methods, and a stressful life of travel are common to all circuses,

regardless of size. We’re placing the billboards to remind people that the only humane

circuses are those that don’t use animals.”
