New York “As UniverSoul Circus opens a store in Roy Wilkins Park on Saturday, members of PETA and the Long Island Orchestrating for Nature (LION) will create an uproar by alerting potential ticket buyers of the circus’s documented history of injured animals and escapes – and encouraging them to stay away.

When: Saturday, September 11, 11:00

Where: Roy Wilkins Park, at the intersection of 119 Merrick Boulevard^th Avenue, Queens
