The Cole Bros. Circus of the Stars is scheduled to open in Hampton, today, at Atlanta Motor Speedway, amid complaints of alleged animal abuse and neglect in the nationally known show.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), has filed complaints about the circus, and its owner, dating back to 2007, which have led to formal charges being filed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
