Penticton residents opposed to an upcoming circus say the city should follow the example of other communities with bylaws restricting exotic and wild animal shows. Jill Beaven says she and her daughter have removed all the ads they could find for the Jordan World Circus, set to perform Saturday in Vernon and Sunday in Penticton. Prior to the Penticton show, the circus will be in Salmon Arm, but it won't feature any animal acts because of a bylaw against such performances.
A spokesperson for the Las Vegas-based company will only say that anyone opposed to the circus should see it before judging how the animals are treated.

Vernon Council should be very careful when making a decision to put the kybosh on the circus.
Such an action would be hypocritical - a political oxymoron, if you will.
