Running Away to Join the Circus! June 21, 2007

As good ol' Willie Nelson said, 'On the Road Again'—I am preparing and packing to hit the road running. This time I will be on the road until December. It seems I am not the only one ready to take off running. According to the Associated Press in Colorado Springs, Colorado, 'Four zebras and three horses from the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus took an unscheduled run on a road just outside World Arena, where the circus was performing this weekend. About 15 animal handlers chased them for about half an hour.' 'The zebras ran onto a road alongside the interstate, and the horses followed.' (News source: http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=bizarre&id=5397915)
I guess the only difference is that I am running towards Ringling Bros. to document the abuse and the horses and zebras are running away from the abuse.
This is not the first time animals have tried to escape the captive and abusive environment of Ringling Bros.
Not only do I get to travel the country but I get to meet some amazing people. (You should come out when I hit your town.) I am also lucky enough to have PETA pimp my ride. Check this out, yo!
Come out to have some vegan food with me and take a photo of yourself with this rad ride. If I am not coming to your city, don't worry because you can read daily updates by clicking here—it's going to be awesome!
