PETA Circus Comes to Britney Spears' Town

Britney Spears has done it again...at least as far as PETA is concerned.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals were none too pleased when she wriggled around the stage with a python at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2001. Now, the critter-friendly crew has taken issue with the pop star's use of pachyderm costars in her latest video, "Circus."

"We're not takin' this sitting down," a PETA blogger writes. "[Britney] of all people should be able to relate to the horror that captive animals go through when they're used for entertainment. Except Britney chooses to perform and the lifestyle just comes with it."

No comment yet from ringmaster Spears—or, for that matter, her elephant buddies—on the whole "Circus" experience.
