Just like I WILL NOT attend any circus or any event that uses captive elephants. I've boycotted my local Ren Faire for three years over this.

They have been rightly criticized here for many issues.

PETA does actually document some abuses, but they are friggin' nuts, too.

I don't need PETA to tell me that fucking circuses are fucking evil.
