At their debut protest, Fresno Voices for Animals was not only joined by Selland Arena event staff and security as well as the Fresno Police Department, but also private undercover security hired by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. After one of the undercovers was seen speaking with the FPD on many occasions, one protester asked his name and what he did. He refused to answer.

Ringling Bros. has a history of wiretapping, sureveillance, harassment, and ‘black-works’ carried out by former members of the CIA and law enforcement, are they still at it?
