Jackass star accuses circus of animal cruelty

TV stuntman Steve-O has launched a one-man campaign against circus giants the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey after deciding to reveal all about the animal abuse he witnessed while training to be a clown.

During a recent internet interview with animal activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the Jackass wildman, real name Stephen Glover, called the circus bosses "a bunch of d**ks".
