(Oxford, MS) The circus is coming to Oxford but Jack the Kangaroo won’t be boxing or “play-fighting” with a clown.
 Advertising for the match brought criticism from PETA and others so the event was cancelled.
 The owner of Star Family Circus said the boxing match is a clown routine and in no way cruel.
 The kangaroo will still be a part of the show, just not in a boxing match.
 The circus is February 13th at the National Guard Armory.
