Carson & Barnes Circus is coming to Vallejo tomorrow night, and we

need your help to raise awareness about the cruelty and violence that

go on behind the scenes. Many people don't know that trainers use

whips, bullhooks, electric prods, and other painful tools to force

animals to perform confusing and unnatural tricks. It's up to kind

people like you to share this knowledge with others so that they,

too, will boycott the circus.

Please take some time out of your day to speak up for animals who are

abused in circuses. They do not have a voice, so we must use our

voices to speak up for them.

What: Demonstration against Carson & Barnes

When: Saturday, September 6, 6 p.m.

Where: Waterfront Park, 495 Mare Island Way, Vallejo

If you have any questions about the demonstration, please contact

Kristie at KristieP.

 

Be sure to check out Circuses.com for other ways you can help animals

abused in the circus—from writing a letter to the editor of your

local newspaper to sharing PETA's online videos with your friends and

family.

 

Thank you for everything that you do to help animals!

For all animals,

David Salisbury, Assistant Activist Liaison

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

Thank you for informing us about this important demonstration. I would

like to point out that the non-human animals in circuses DO have

voices. We may not understand (or even listen to) what they are

saying, but that does not mean they do not have a voice.

 

Circuses are bad for non-human animals, and not just because of the

horrific cruelty and violence we inflict upon them. A recent editorial

speaks eloquently to this:

From the editorial: " Even if they're not abusing the animals, I'm

against animal circuses. Use without consent is slavery. "
