Mark Indelicato took to Twitter to express his feelings for circuses.

The Ugly Betty actor was moved by Olivia Munn‘s recent PETA ad protesting the use of elephants in the entertainment industry.

“Olivia Munn For Peta. I will NEVER go to the circus again. This has me in tears right now.”

“Stop animal abuse! We cannot just sit around and watch poor, innocent animals get harmed and tortured only for the entertainment of human.”

“And to think that even the CIRCUS, which is supposed to be so happy and joyful could do such a thing. Boycott places and things like this.”

“Thinking of writing a letter to the Wringling Brothers Circus to tell them what horrible, cruel, sick human beings they are.”

Meyer Glitzenstein & Crystal, a public interest law firm that created the Wildlife Advocacy Project, represents four animal interest groups–ASPCA, Animal Welfare Institute, Animal Protection Institute, Fund for Animals–and a former Ringling Brothers employee in a suit against Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey that alleges the entertainment group’s beating of elephants with bull hooks and keeping them chained constituted unlawful “take” of the endangered animals under the Endangered Species Act.

According to a site dedicated to the trial on behalf of Ringling Brothers, a judge granted a partial summary to Ringling Brothers, narrowing the case down to six elephants and ruling none of the Asian elephants born in the United States were subject to the law.

Olivia Munn PETA

Olivia Munn has bared all to spread the message about captive animals in circuses, especially elephants in an anti circus ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

According to Ace Showbiz, the ad will be unveiled on a billboard on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles today, so be prepared for the slowed traffic, open mouths and binocular watching from men in that area.

The ad reads, “As nature intended, let animals be free. Boycott the circus.”

Peta2 has written a few facts about the circus and treatment of animals on its blog.

An interesting fact: Elephants are no sedentary creatures. They may walk as much as 30 miles a day!

However, as Peta2 points out, circuses chain these animals and cart them from city to city, forcing them into such a small space when they’re let out, it’s impossible to even strike a yoga pose.

Singer Pink and husband Carey Hart spent some quality time together, enjoying themselves and promoting cruelty-free entertainment.

The singer, who’s real name is Alecia Beth Moore, took to Twitter to describe her experience attending an animal free circus.

“Ugggghhh I had the BESTest day with my amazing sexy hubby @hartluck riding around on beach cruisers w feathers in my hat watching the circus (sic),” Pink wrote.

“Not the real circus people. No animals, just people. That look and behave like animals. On acid. Tis’ a colorful world (sic).”

As a longtime vegetarian and animal rights supporter, she’s probably cheering on PETA’s call to shut down the Ringling Brothers.

The animal rights group has accused the circus of abusing its elephants.

The Humane Society has put together a list of circuses, tour productions and entertainers that do not use animals in any of their shows.

Check it out and enjoy some human tricks the next time one rolls into your town.

While we’re a little confused as to why Britney would make the circus a theme for her tour, we’re at least glad she’s not using live animals on stage.

Spears caught heat from groups like the Humane Society of The United States not long ago when she used live animals in her music video “Circus.”

If you watch the video below, you’ll see lions and elephants surrounding people. (Again, why the heck bring lions in the studio? Unless, with the economy and all, you’re looking to reduce your staff.)

But thankfully, lions, tigers, or bears won’t be coming to a venue near you along with Britney. In a statement released by Britney’s people:

“We wanted the stage to resemble the design of a three-ring circus where multiple acts can take place simultaneously. While avoiding such traditional circus elements as live animals, we’ve created something innovative and exciting using contortionists, dancers, lighting, fire and other special effects. In the end, we just want fans to experience a unique and thrilling concert with Britney.”

Good job, Britney. Everyone knows you’re still so much a sex kitten, there’s no room for other animals on the stage.
