Do Your Friends Know That Ringling Beats Animals? August 25, 2009

Posted by Rachel-O | Permalink | Comments ( 20 ) | TrackBack

Ringling Beats Animals! Everyone knows that right? It may seem like it, with PETA's recent investigation into Ringling, and compassionate people everywhere holding protests when the circus shows up in their town—but believe it or not, some people still think it's okay to drag their kids to the circus to give them a lesson in supporting cruelty to animals.

How can people be so clueless? Sometimes it's hard to figure out. Maybe you've forwarded our new investigation to everyone in your family and all of your friends, but they still don't get it. Maybe it's time for a ... cuter approach.

Print out one of our signs below, fill out your name, take a picture (a lot of Street Teamers have been taking a pic with their companion animals to up the cuteness level!) and send it in to us at StreetTeam@peta2.com. Make sure you post it on your Facebook wall or default it as your MySpace pic so everyone can see it—that's the point, right? We'll give you 1000 Street Team points for sending us your link or a screen shot of the picture on your Facebook wall!

or

Tonka, Luna and the other nine elephants suffering at the hands of Ringling's trainers need your help! Speak up for them now!


Stay loud!
-Rachel

Even though elephants have very rough and thick skin, those people have no right to treat them that way. I hope an elephant steps on their toes!

I hope the elephants will be rescued from Ringling Bros. and put in a sanctuary. I'm sure if more people knew what Ringling Bros. did they wouldn't attend a circus that used animals.

I still can't believe they'd hit and kill poor elephants.

When i read this and saw a video about this subject i really could not handle it. This is a reason that i refuse to go to a circus. People think it is all fun and games, but they do not realize that animals are being harm for their pleasure.

wtf. why do humans chain,kill or torcher any thing bigger than them? i mean the majorety of humans are more angry and violent than most ellaphants.as soon as there is a thret "destroy it now" im np liberal but this is wrong . people who hurt animels should be torcherd.

I am a professional pet sitter and I love all animals. I am the proud owner of 3 beautiful chihuahua's one of which is a rescue dog. I have no tolerance for people who abuse thier animals, I report abuse when I see it. These poor elephants need our help. There is no reason in this world for people to do this sort of thing!!!! One day they will meet thier maker and he will decide thier fate...
