Network Dear Shannon, In recent years, PETA caught Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus handlers aggressively hooking elephants with a bullhook and forcing lame elephants to perform. Recently, TNT announced plans to air a reality show featuring the notorious animal-abusing circus. Please contact Turner Entertainment president Steve Koonin and producers Marl Wolper and Al Hassas and urge them to abandon plans to promote Ringling. Undoubtedly, one reality that will be

omitted from the show is the bullhook abuse of elephants, the whipping of tigers, and the constant confinement of all the animals. Remind TNT and show producers that after learning of the abuse inherent in animal circuses, major corporations like Denny’s, Lukoil, General Mills, Burger King, Liz Claiborne, MasterCard, Visa, and Sears, Roebuck & Co. ended their promotions of circuses like Ringling and UniverSoul. Please speak up for animals suffering in Ringling's circus. Ask TNT to abandon plans to air a Ringling reality show that will surely ignore the abuses that animals endure behind the scenes. Thank you for all that you do animals! Urge your friends and family to take action as well.
