She reportedly wants a huge circus-themed affair when it comes to her wedding to billionaire James Packer, but a new petition has surfaced and gained major traction requesting that Mariah Carey not include baby elephants and white tigers for her dream affair.

According to reports back in February, the actress was planning on an extravagant and lavish event with rides, fireworks, elephants and a statue of herself for the big day.

"She wants carnival rides and a giant circus with baby elephants, white tigers, jugglers, acrobats and clowns," a friend of Carey's reportedly said at the time. "There will be fireworks, a marching band and a flyover by military aircraft."

However, a care2 petition has since arisen asking for the singer to not consider having the tigers and elephants at her nuptials since the species are both decimated species at risk of one day becoming extinct. As of press time it, has reached 80,345 signatures of an 85,000 signature goal.

"Mariah Carey is planning on getting married to Australian Billionaire James Packer on Barbuda Island where she will fly her guests in a private jet. She also wants to use her money to have clowns and acrobats, which is fine, but a friend has told a newspaper that she also wants to fly in baby elephants and white tigers to the island," the petition reads.

"Elephants and white tigers are decimated species and should be left alone and not used anymore as circus animals," the petition continues. "Does she realize how traumatizing it will be for these baby elephants to be separated from their mothers and be shipped on a boat to her dream wedding? If she is pouring money, why doesn't she use it to protect elephants from ivory poachers instead of turning baby elephants into circus animals? How many will make it alive to her dream wedding, and will she pay to safely return them home after?"

Carey has not yet publicly responded to the petition and it is unclear if she is planning on having the animals at the wedding.
