    This organization is determined to have animals perform in circuses and is opposed to organizations wanting to ban what they believe in. They regularly have conventions supporting the circus all across the United States. This is just one organization supporting circuses, there are many more, but The National Circus Prevention Society is the most prominent. This organization might want animals to have the best medical benefits and be handled humanely, but they are not there to regulate each and every circus and the deaths of animals and people show inadequate care and abuse.
