In response to reports of two circus handlers allegedly punching and kicking dogs during an Arab Shrine circus performance Sunday in Topeka, PETA has asked the Topeka Police Department and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to investigate, said Carney Anne Nasser, an attorney with the Peta Foundation.
“Multiple people have echoed outrage,” Nasser said Tuesday.
