Protest Animal Abuse on Campus!
Ringling Brothers Circus Demonstration Schedule
Join us as we protest the Ringling Brothers Circus on campus! The show
just traveled through DC and Baltimore, the protests there were
successful as patrons were very responsive to our literature and
undercover video footage. Now it's GMU's turn!
Why? In order for animals to perform circus tricks, they are beaten
with metal bull hooks, shocked with electrical devices, tied down with
ropes, and whipped. They are either stolen from their wild habitats,
or they are bred in captivity and removed from their mothers before
their first birthday. These animals spend their lives in chains and
travel eleven months of the year, through weather conditions
considerably different from their native habitats.
These animals are caged, routinely beaten to incentivize their
performance of tricks, and suffer both mentally and physically during
their captivity in the circus. Their performances do not educate
children about animals. Rather, it sends a message that animal abuse
and dominion is acceptable.
FACT: Ringling Bros. Circus admitted under oath while on trial that
“all” of the elephant handlers “strike” the elephants with bullhooks
causing “puncture wounds”
*** Please come and lend your voice to these animals! ***
