Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey will remove animals from future shows amid cruelty concerns from animal rights groups, the circus announced on Wednesday.
Future performances, part of a comeback tour next fall, will feature a live interaction show called The Greatest Show On Earth, which will offer"incredible feats that push the limits of human potential and create jaw-dropping moments," Feld Entertainment, the company that owns the circus, said in a statement.
"As passionate stewards of Ringling, we are committed to creating a lifestyle brand that connects with families and sparks real fun 365 days a year through live performances, digital content, consumer products, school curricula, youth circus arts programs, and more," said Kenneth Feld, the chairman and CEO of the company.
The circus closed in January 2017 amid claims from animal rights activists that animals were mistreated, according to USA Today. Elephants were removed from the show in 2016, 18 months earlier than initially announced.
