Thanks to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Hampton Roads residents will find it harder than ever to bury their heads under the ``Big Top,'' remaining ignorant of the abuse and exploitation animals suffer behind the scenes.
It's time Virginia residents eliminate this barbaric practice by boycotting circuses with animals. Let's support modern circuses, like Cirque du Soleil and Pickle Family Circus, which thrill audiences without animals acts.
