His friends must have been worried that Mr. "Tact and Diplomacy" was in danger of being overpowered by the deceptively slight Amanda (she does have super-vegan powers, you know), Amanda reports that several of the thug's cohorts bounded to his assistance and surrounded her, effectively blocking her view of the elephants.
Not the smartest move, because another activist was holding the aforementioned video camera and caught the whole thing on tape. We promptly turned the tape over to Portland police, who have opened an investigation into the incident.

Good for her, I live in Portland and the circus doesnt belong here, It actually doesnt belong anywhere but especially in Portland. Shame on them! My family, friends and I are going to protest against it this Saturday. Why are families still supporting this. goooosshh

The FBI and Psychaitrists concur via asserting that people who are cruel to animals almost invariably cause violent harm to humans.

Ringling should be sweating bullets by now. I wouldn't be surprised if they get shut down in the next 20 years. It's amazing that a facility with such a bad track record can continue to perform.

These fearless Peta women, standing up for animals, make me proud to be a female.

LMAO! Will PETA put up the video of her being shoved?

I hope Amanda is okay and no injuries.
When will the video be released?

Have never paid to see a circus and never will. Always have felt sorry for the animals.

Amanda, I hope you're okay and you were incredibly courageous for sticking up for the elephants the way you did. Way to go!

The family that owns Ringling Brothers (the Felds, Feld Entertainment) hired ex-CIA people to try to hurt whistleblowers!

It doesn't surprise me! They beat animals and you know what that means... they think nothing about beating a women or in the case shoving a woman.
Ringling Brothers are buttheads.( I wanted to say the other word, but didn't know if PETA would allow it)
Amanda, hope your o.k.

Amanda you are a Hero and I only wish I could be there to assist you!

Any circus that uses animals in their acts should be banned. Ringling is among the worst.

Ringling Brothers does't know what they are up against. Amanda is in good company protecting animals ,she can be a force to contend with on her own!! Be careful Manny, we are so proud of you!!

Go PeTA! The stupid fat man probably has meat-induced cancer so karma has already taken care of him...

Looking forward to seeing that video, although I have seen activists assaulted in person plenty of times. It's just nice to have it on video for a change.
Way to go, guys!

What would you expect? People who treat animals like this certainly couldn't care less about another person.
