Say NO to circus at the SC State Fair!


Say NO to circus at the SC State Fair!
The Issue
The news is full of stories of animal abuse in the circus. Most people are aware that animals in circuses are not only abused and neglected but also suffer from boredom and stress from not being in a natural environment. While many cities, states and countries are banning circuses using animals, the powers-that-be at the South Carolina State Fair have chosen to ADD a circus to the festivities this October. Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus, the nation's oldest and most grandiose circus, realized the major shift in public attitude towards circuses with animals and left the business after a century of traveling the U.S. MOST PEOPLE THINK THE CIRCUS IS CRUEL AND NOT ACCEPTABLE. Why, then, does the management of the SC State Fair think it is a good idea to employ a circus this year? Shameful. Help us STOP the circus from being a part of this year's SC State Fair.
