Not only am I glad to hear this, I am also glad she seems to be coming out of her troubles; also, in the lawsuit Mr. Lufti has filed against her, I hope she wins!

Posted by: Rev. Meg Schramm | February 4, 2009 09:36 AM

I'm glad she has made this decision. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to point something out to someone like Brittany and they realize what they are doing or going to do, goes beyond entertainment and streches into torture.

Posted by: Jordan | February 4, 2009 09:57 AM

I am a super die-hard Britney fan!!
And I am attending her tour as long as she doesn't cancel it or anything.

I am glad there will be no animals :)

Posted by: Amber Falobas | February 4, 2009 12:06 PM

I secretly kind of love Britney.

Posted by: Canaduck | February 4, 2009 01:20 PM

Hooray for Britney! I am so proud of her! I will be buying her records!

Posted by: Susan Ballarini | February 4, 2009 02:30 PM

I am surprised!& very proud of her.

Posted by: sandiegovegan | February 4, 2009 04:53 PM

Well... 'Circus' is the only song she's ever done that I liked anyway. :)

Posted by: Meech! | February 4, 2009 05:57 PM

Thanks Brittany,

You did the right thing. I am so glad because I live in Louisiana.

Posted by: Debbie | February 4, 2009 06:07 PM

Good for her. I'm proud to have bought her cd for my girlfriend now.

Posted by: angry vegetarian | February 4, 2009 06:30 PM

YESSSS! BRITNEY MAH GIRL! i loved her before and even more now!!! hahaha way to go PETA

Posted by: Bailey | February 4, 2009 07:16 PM

please little brit-brit - You have the means to save so much...help ...don't use elephants or at least give a donation and check your options to perhaps use the elephants saved. You are one person who can change the world. With admiration and love.

Posted by: Deana | February 4, 2009 07:34 PM

Great! Her new CD is really good and I'm happy to hear that there won't be any elephants in her show!

Posted by: Curtis | February 4, 2009 08:40 PM

I am one of those "die hard Britney fans" and I am happy to hear the news. Good job!

Posted by: Bethany | February 4, 2009 11:20 PM

Oops, you did it again, Peta!Thanks for convincing Britney to leave animals out of her video.

Posted by: lynda downie | February 5, 2009 12:56 AM

Good for Brit, I am also a fan of hers!

Posted by: Ingrid | February 5, 2009 07:00 AM

Thats fantastic news Britney. Now i will buy your cd's.! Sheila (Ireland)

Posted by: Sheila | February 5, 2009 12:23 PM

Yeah for Britney and the Animals :)

Posted by: jennifer | February 5, 2009 12:34 PM

i was very sad when i saw her new video, but now that i hear this news, i hope she does not use animals anymore, not for her performances nor for her videos

Posted by: victoria | February 5, 2009 03:54 PM

I'm a TOTAL Britney fan so I'm very glad to hear that she will not be using animals on her tour!

Posted by: Bonnie | February 5, 2009 05:33 PM

but she still wears or at least she wore fur...she's not all that good!!!

Posted by: Zoe | February 5, 2009 05:39 PM

Go Britney!! I still love her, I don't care if I'm a nerd....

Posted by: goveg4life | February 5, 2009 06:09 PM

I have always loved Britney, and gone to all her concerts, but I was not planning on attending this one. Now that I hear she has decided to exclude the animals, I think I'll find tickets! Thanks Britney!

Posted by: Lisa | February 5, 2009 06:28 PM

Thats fantastic!!! I just got tickets to her show and was hoping she would comply!!!
Shes sooo great!!!

Posted by: Justin | February 5, 2009 06:35 PM

I love Britney! I love her more now. Can't wait to see the tour in March!!!

Posted by: Theresa | February 5, 2009 06:44 PM

With hope, the message will be loud and clear. Just Stop Exploiting Animals for Entertainment. Thumbs up for realizing your first wrong doing and doing the right thing.

Posted by: Doug | February 5, 2009 07:22 PM

We can defiantly continue to support her. Hopefully other artists take note and do the same. If they don't we will just have to boycott them. PETA saving animals one day at a time.

Posted by: Shannon Saunders | February 5, 2009 07:36 PM

I am very glad that no animals will be used. I would have preferred that the tone of this article was a little more respectful and less dismissive of Britney Spears. And no, I'm actually not a fan, I just felt that this was really positive news and I wish it had been shared in a spirit of togetherness and compassion. ld like to have a link to thank Britney for her choice!

Posted by: Janine | February 5, 2009 08:34 PM

It's wonderful to hear that Britney cares about animals. I wish her the very best. She's a talented, bright, and beautiful young woman who has a long career ahead of her.

Posted by: Avisval | February 5, 2009 09:09 PM

THANK YOU BRITNEY FOR YOUR COMPASSION TOWARDS ANIMALS! NOW, I JUST HOPE & PRAY THAT HER BUDDY, MADONNA, OF WHOM I'M HER VERY BIGGEST FAN FOR MANY, MANY YEARS WILL FOLLOW IN HER FOOTPRINTS & NOT DEPICT CRUELTY TOWARDS ANIMALS SUCH AS THE CRUEL INHUMANE BULL FIGHT IN HER " TAKE A BOW" VIDEO! PLEASE MADONNA USE YOUR TREMENDOUS CLOUT & FORTUNE TO PROMOTE ANIMAL RIGHTS ISSUES & IMPROVE THE WELFARE OF ANIMALS IN GENERAL!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CONSIDERING THIS REQUEST FROM YOUR #1 FAN WHO'S ALSO STILL A "MADONNA WANNABE" I LOVE YOU! SHIRLEY SILKUNAS

Posted by: Shirley Silkunas | February 5, 2009 11:29 PM

THANK YOU TO HAVE CHANGED YOUR PLANS ;;;;;
BRAVO

Posted by: OUAI | February 6, 2009 01:00 AM

Good for Britney. She has demonstrated maturity and compassion with this decision. I only hope she can lead by example and that other celebrities also demonstrate these admirable attributes toward other animals, ESPECIALLY the poor animals on fur farms, AND STOP WEARING FUR!!!

Posted by: Jessica Singh | February 6, 2009 01:16 AM

I saw the video and did not like to see the animals in it, she can still have jugglers, clowns and lots of colour, but i am pleased the animals have been taken out, and it would be nice if she could make a donation towards captive animals society or some animal charity as a kind gesture, could this be put to her,i actually like to see her on stage and have worked at wembley Arena when she was performing,it would be nice if Peta could approach her for an animal donation

Posted by: Dee Harris | February 6, 2009 04:12 AM

Brit, you remember what it felt like to be locked up against your will and this is probably what lead you to this decision. Good for you.

Now lose the fur.

Posted by: Susan | February 6, 2009 04:36 AM

I love Britney and I'm so happy she's not having the animals in the tour.

She's a great person.

Posted by: Georgia Smith | February 6, 2009 04:42 AM

YAY! GO PETA! I AM SO GLAD! ESPECIALLY THAT CELEBS CAN GET MEDIA ATTENTION FOR THESE KINDS OF ISSUES! GO PETA!!

Posted by: ruby | February 6, 2009 05:16 AM

Cheers for Britney!!! I'm so happy for her recovery and her obvious good health. I always felt that she had a lot more depth and character than she had been showing the paparazzi! She can do a lot for the animals and we need to embrace her for this wonderful decision. Let's hope she is strong on the fur issue and other animal rights issues! Is she a member of Peta?

Posted by: Duane | February 6, 2009 05:48 AM

That elephant should be riding her actually. This is cruelity it really is. I mean using animals for these bastards fame! it has to stop! Rather they know it or not animals weren't put here to take advantage of.

Posted by: Sue Geldof | February 6, 2009 06:17 AM

Good that she has altered her video. Can she not also donate to Peta or some animal charity, her popularity would go way up very fast, and it would do could for the causes, contact her please

Posted by: Ian Mackay | February 6, 2009 06:27 AM

I'm so happy to hear this. I was talking about it with my friend Ashlee who is a huge Spears fan and she didn't like the fact that I wanted her to not have the animals and everything, and she's pretty upset that she's not going to have them there. But to me it's about what's right for the animals and whatever keeps them safe. :)

Posted by: Jessica | February 6, 2009 08:51 AM

I don't like her anyway and i was appauled when i saw her circus video.
And yes it's good that she isn't using animals on her tour, but she still used them in her crappy new song.
Idiot.

Posted by: Sophie | February 6, 2009 08:55 AM

Glad to hear it. I do love Brit and am glad she made a moral decision despite whatever other influences may be pressuring her these days. I'll gladly attend her show knowing this.

Posted by: Dani B | February 6, 2009 09:28 AM

You have no idea how hard I cried... I've never been to a Britney concert because my parents would never let me and now that I'm finally of age I wanted to go. But then came the Circus issue, I'm an animal rights activist and I chose animals over Britney and I never thought it would come to that... But here I am, free to continue my love for Britney and animals! Thank you PETA... I almost gave up hope!

Posted by: Darline | February 6, 2009 10:37 AM

I love Britney and I am not 12! Thanks Brit for showing the rest of the world that you care! Got my tickets and I can't wait to see u in April! Woohooo

Posted by: Lauren | February 6, 2009 11:26 AM

Seriously, if you want to thank anyone, thank her tour designer. I doubt Britney had any say in the matter.

Posted by: Tanya | February 6, 2009 11:30 AM

Britney, you are in a position to influence a lot of people and it is so good to see you have chosen not to use animals. I personally want to say a big thank you. Good luck with the tour and everything x

Posted by: Jo | February 6, 2009 11:35 AM

I loves me some Brit-Brit. Where's the "Send A Message Thanking Britney" action alert? Isn't it just as important to thank someone for making compassionate choices as asking them to stop inhumane actions?

Posted by: spacedaisie | February 6, 2009 12:00 PM

Yah hooo,,,,,,,,

Success.

Posted by: Rosmin Maharoof | February 6, 2009 12:21 PM

I am a little surprised at the gushing over this. The video is already done with the animals, and does everyone forget that she wears fur.

Posted by: Marilyn | February 6, 2009 12:40 PM

I am glad she is not using animals. I was very disapointed that Britney had elephants and lions in her music video..... has she not heard of Cirque du Soleil? They use people, not animals.

Though I am a fan of Britney, whenever "Circus" comes on the radio, I change the station.

Posted by: Amy | February 6, 2009 12:42 PM

Thank you!

Posted by: Christina Austin | February 6, 2009 01:59 PM

YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
way 2 go PETA!!!!!
only this morning I'd heard that song, and I remembered the animals in her video. It got me. . . depressed! Now, though, I'm just so jubilant that I'm practically jumping up and down!
YYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Posted by: Claire Melinda | February 6, 2009 06:48 PM

Go BRIT UR THE BEST.

Posted by: Helen | February 6, 2009 07:25 PM

Way to go Britney!! Counter sue that dick Lufti.. He's a gutter snipe who tricked you..

Posted by: van | February 6, 2009 10:13 PM

I am so happy to hear this! My boyfriend bought me a couple tickets and I was thrilled (big undercover brit fan) but I did not want to attend if there would be "trained animals" as I am very aware of the cruelty behind the image. Thanks for speaking up, once again, for animals without a voice!

Posted by: Paris | February 7, 2009 02:47 PM

If you have a heart Britney, please stop hurting animals for your own selfish reasons!

Posted by: Mandy Neltner | February 8, 2009 05:30 AM

Way to go Brit, I'm sooooo happy about your turn around.
Animals of all kinds are here to enjoy their lives, just as we are.

Again, thanks for your consideration of ohter creatures that are not given choices for what they want out of life.

Another animal LOVER,
Susan

Posted by: Susan Ice | February 8, 2009 12:25 PM

i hope that more people learn from this and stop using wild animals in shows and mistreating them .. i am glad to see that she listened and she is making the changes that needed so badly to be made

Posted by: kat oakes | February 8, 2009 01:25 PM

That's awesome. That really does say a lot about the type of person she is, a lot of people would have just ignored that and said 'I'm going to do what I want and I want elephants', but she didn't and I'm really pleased!

Posted by: Emily | February 8, 2009 01:58 PM

I knew Britney was amazing and this just proves me right, she is an animal lover as well as an amazing performer and I CAN'T WAIT to see her concert tour!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Carrie Olivari | February 8, 2009 07:05 PM

Well done !
I hope this proves beyond a doubt that circus entertainment can be every bit as thrilling, and more, than resorting to the outdated, and invariably cruel, use of animal acts.

Posted by: Martin Field | February 8, 2009 10:04 PM

Go Britney! Now I will actually pay to download your music. But you did have that snake in that other video.But its a step in the right direction.

Posted by: Alex | February 10, 2009 02:36 AM

THIS IS HUGE! THANK YOU SO MUCH BRITNEY. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU AS YOU SEEM TO BE MUCH HAPPIER NOW. YOUR DECISION IS THE RIGHT ONE AND WHAT A POWERFUL MESSAGE IT SENDS. THE END TO THE USE AND ABUSE OF ANIMALS IN CIRCUSES IS AT HAND. THANK YOU AGAIN BRITNEY!!!!

Posted by: Eden | February 10, 2009 11:43 PM

Props to u Brit! this selfless decision made many people happy! thank you!

Posted by: Shana | February 11, 2009 10:06 PM

all right finally celebertys get call on for there stupid acts!!!!!

Posted by: devin | February 11, 2009 10:18 PM

I am a Brit fan but also a peta supporter and I am so glad she made the right decission to stop the use of animals in her vidoes or performes we need all the entertainer to stop using animals and wearing anything of animals on themselves to promote themselves.. think about it what would happen if u were a animal and someone used u to fight or perform u would not like it at all..

Posted by: laura | February 13, 2009 10:02 PM

I am glad that Britney has made the responsible decision not to use any live animals in her circus themed show, BUT I am also aware that a tiger doesn't change its stripes, (at least not so easily). I'll be a little more inclined to believe that she truly has changed after more time has passed and she has been able to maintain a CONSISTENT record of responsible behavior towards ALL living things.

Posted by: David | February 15, 2009 11:21 AM

i love britney , i have ever since she came out and i am so happy to hear this . She's really a great person :)

Posted by: Lexy | February 18, 2009 12:56 PM

Thanks to PETA! & thank you Britney for understanding!

Posted by: Daniela Medioli | February 19, 2009 08:26 AM

I was so sad when I learned what goes on at the circus , the place I loved as a child. We cannot turn our backs anymore on these precious animals. Every single one counts. I hope she makes a new version of her video Circus without the animals in it!!! This would show an even more mature act on Brittney's part.

Posted by: Amy | February 20, 2009 10:43 PM

hey that great animals needs more suport from us lets speak for those that cant talk for them selves.....

Posted by: jorge | February 21, 2009 12:44 AM

Thank goodness the girl has listened ! We all felt sorry for her losing her way, but I was not pleased about her using animals to announce her come back. I am glad that she is no longer exploiting animals to get back to the top. She should be advocating kindness since this is what the public have given her.

Posted by: Nicki Hill | February 21, 2009 07:33 AM

Animal abusers should be in prison. She is a circus herself, why does she need to misuse animals?

Posted by: Christina,Joanna,Angelica Apostolou | February 21, 2009 08:22 PM

I was really disappointed when I saw the circus-video of Mrs. Spears. Now, I am very glad that she realized what is wrong with circuses. She could use her famous name for talking against circuses with animals.

Posted by: Anna Kotaki | February 23, 2009 07:54 AM

Way to go girl! You made the right choice. We must all work together and stars like you are such an influence on the public to protect animal rights. Great Work.

Posted by: lynda downie | March 5, 2009 11:32 PM

I am so glad PETA has worked hard to stop Britney Spears from having animals perform in her tour. It was discouraging to see Britney's Circus video with animals who looked scared when performing ridiculous tricks.

Posted by: keila villegas | March 7, 2009 03:29 PM

Yeha! Britney....u Are the best...well...but u should mOre 4 the animals gOOd!

Posted by: alejandra arel | March 8, 2009 12:34 AM

I have been REALLY excited to see her (first time), but would not have gone if she used exploited animals. Thank you, therefore, for this post. I will buy my tickets now! :)

Posted by: Christopher Foster | March 9, 2009 08:22 PM

Great job Britney. if everyone could be like you the world would be a happier place for animals! By the way i loved you song: Circus!

Posted by: shmae | March 11, 2009 03:34 PM

she didn't "changed the plans" she didn't wanted from the beginning animals on her tour.... but in the video she just wanted to film some animals.. they weren't doing tricks or stuff..
as much as i remember i saw some pics of her playing with dolphins.. :)

Posted by: luc | March 12, 2009 09:37 AM

britney you should see how circus animals are really treated. I dare you to go to peta2.com and find out how circus animals are abused.DO you even care about animals?

Posted by: Erin Snyder | March 20, 2009 05:03 PM

im glad brittney wont be using animals in her circus!

Posted by: madison | May 18, 2009 03:55 PM

I noticed that she was on the sh*t list before via the Facebook page I'm part of. Though the article is old, I think perhaps the 'Britney Spears is On Our Sh** List' deserves an apology on peta's behalf, because not only did she do what was obviously brought to her attention, but also because I am sure she wasn't there every minute to see what the animals were going through. And if you can't apologize, perhaps you can say Thank you Britney for listening to us to help with our cause. Not this lo and behold our wish was granted. Thanks. A fan of both Peta and Britney.
