Dozens of Vegas animal advocates showed out tonight at the Winchester Town Advisory Board meeting to oppose @jayowenhouse's application to have a dangerous & inhumane tiger show in a parking lot near the Strip in @tsegerblom district. TAB unanimously recommended to deny!
We now turn to Clark County Commission to follow suit and say no to this retrograde circus act.

480 Otis wins #fatbearweek2021! Not only did 480 Otis eat WAY more calories than he burned -- he did so in style.

Thanks to @ACLUNV for advocating for local activists. We look forward to learning what @FBI has been up to.
