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.
