Animals that originate from Africa, belong in Africa, in their natural state.

Treat these animal with respect. No one wants to see this abuse. I saw this circus several years ago and I was disgusted.

I am shocked that an animal circus is coming to Corvallis. I thought we were beyond this sort of thing. Get some bendy, daring people to jump through flaming hoops -- at least they get paid!

I talked to a woman at the fairgrounds to day and understand it is up to the board of the fairgrounds committee to decide who rents the facilities. And also that there will be a new manager there shortly as the previous one is retired as of today. I shared my concerns about the last wild animal show "Walk on the Wild side" And also about this circus coming to town. She stated that legally they could not turn down anyone that wanted to rent the facilities if they were not commiting a crime. But! if enough people signed a petition this possibly could be changed! So what is the Truth! It seems that the big dollar always trumps (no pun intended} what is right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAf1AKj-izY

There is nothing humane about trucking elephants around for the sole purpose of entertaining humans. We know what intelligent and socially complex beings elephants are now. These elephants deserve a better quality of life that gives them the freedom to be elephants and not just objects of amusement and profit. Please join me in signing this petition to not allow elephant entertainment to take place in Benton County,

No MORE circuses ANYWHERE! it's barbaric, inhumane and no one wants to see a wild animal do unnatural acts contrary to its nature. We don't want you in town!

Very surprised to know BC Fairground mgr & BC Commissioners are unaware that circus animal performers are treated miserably. I'll email them.

Why would anyone want to be 'entertained' at the expense of others' suffering?

Animals are our friends to be loved, not being trained harshly from entertaining purposes. Animal circuses are not fun, it's a demonstration of cruelty.
