It will likely showcase more motorsports, daredevils and feats of humans' physical capabilities.
Why?
Another reason for the decision, company President Kenneth Feld said, was that certain cities and counties have passed "anti-circus" and "anti-elephant" ordinances. The company's three shows visit 115 cities throughout the year, and Feld said it's expensive to fight legislation in each jurisdiction.
Like I'm sure none of them "anti-elephant" cities will be "anti-camel-abuse".
