: Circus Animal Petition
: Newf Lover January 18, 2006, 01:11:48 PM

I have just read and signed the petition: "End the use of animals in Ringling Bros. Circuses!"  This is an issue that really bothers me and as an animal lover I had to take part in helping out.  I thought you all would at least be interested in learning more about how to save these animals from a life of chains and mistreatment.

Please take a moment to read about this important issue, and join me in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference.  We are trying to reach 20,000 signatures - please sign here:

Once you have signed, you can help even more by asking your friends and family
to sign as well.  There are also several other issues at the website below that might be of interest to you as well.

This has brought back a horrible memory for me.  When my son was five we went to our first and last circus. We were sitting in an area that we could see some of the animals just before they came out from behind a curtain.  At one point there was one of the big cats being whipped.  My son looked at me with tears in his eyes and simply asked if we could leave.  It still brings me to tears when I think about not only the animals being beat but also how sick and sad they all looked.

I will NEVER again attend a circus!!

Signed. My wife asked this year if we could take the kids.  I looked at her like she was crazy. After "teaching" her about circuses, she thankfully changed her mind.
