Puyallup Fair center refuses to cancel circus
PUYALLUP, Wash. -- The Puyallup Fair and Events Center has refused a request from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to cancel a circus visit.
A center spokeswoman, Karen LaFlamme (luh-FLAYM), says the Circus Vasquez is welcome as long as it complies with federal requirements to treat its animals well. The circus is scheduled to stop at the Puyallup fairgrounds May 16-20.
PETA asked the center to cancel the circus because one of its tigers was killed by others in a cage in March in Los Angeles. A USDA inspection of the circus last month found nothing that violated animal welfare laws.
