Volunteers Needed for Fort Worth Ringling Circus, 8/13-8/14

August 12, 2008

Circus animals

are among the most abused animals on Earth. People who attend the

circus do not know that. Many who intended to buy tickets to the

circus have turned around and left after reading our leaflets, which

educate on the number of baby elephants and other animals who are killed, beaten, and injured during circus training and performance.

VEGETARIAN NETWORK OF DALLAS

is hosting several educational leaflettings and peaceful demonstrations

to educate the Fort Worth public about the abuses and mistreatment of

circus animals. PLEASE JOIN US!! We need all who are concerned and wish to bring awareness to stop the suffering of these imprisoned beings!! Signs and educational pamphlets will be provided -- all we need is you!

What: Leaflet at the Ringling Bros. Circus

When: Wed. August 13th and Thurs. August 14th at 6:00 PM (Shows begin at 7:30pm).
