Letter: I hope the Utah State Fair’s circus doesn’t include animal abuse

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Midway glows at night at the Utah State Fair, Monday, September 11, 2017.

When I read the Utah State Fair pamphlet, I was very upset to see that an item listed under the “entertainment” column is a circus!

I am really hoping that this is not the type of circus that includes tortured, abused animals who have been beaten to learn ridiculous tricks. So many circuses have been shut down because of public outcry, so I am hoping that the fair organizers did not make a terrible mistake by booking this kind of circus. If so, I hope that the protestors are getting organized, and I will be among them.
