Feld Entertainment, Inc., the producer of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Circus,
announced today that the company has reached a legal settlement with
the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in
connection with two federal court cases. Under the settlement, ASPCA
has paid Feld Entertainment $9.3 million to settle all claims related to
its part in more than a decade of manufactured litigation that
attempted to outlaw elephants in the company's Ringling Bros. ® Circus.
This settlement applies only to the ASPCA. Feld Entertainment's legal
proceedings, including its claims for litigation abuse and
racketeering, will continue against the remaining defendants, Humane
Society of the United States, the Fund for Animals, Animal Welfare
Institute, Animal Protection Institute United with Born Free USA, Tom
Rider and the attorneys involved.
