The Cruelest Show on Earth Coming to Atlanta
Interested in helping with a circus protest? This just in from GARP:
The cruelest show on earth returns this coming Friday, Feb 13 (an unlucky day for the animals). This year we will be using a multimedia approach which certainly proved effective last year. However we need a small portable generator. Is there someone who can donate one for the weekends of the circus (ringling and universoul) which effectively be every weekend through March 8. If not, can you donate to a fund to raise money to buy one. I've priced them and they seem to be about $300.00. All donations are tax deductible to GARP.
WHERE : Philips Arena
1 Philips Dr. (in front on Centennial Olympic Blvd entrance)
Atlanta, GA 30303
WHEN: Fri February 13 6:30PM
Sat February 14 4:30PM
Sun February 15 4:30PM
WHY: Archele Hundley, a former Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus employee, has recently teamed up with PETA to make a moving plea to potential circusgoers. Hundley, who witnessed elephant beatings during her time with Ringling, narrates a new public service announcement (PSA) urging viewers to stay away from the circus.
"I saw handlers deliver a beating for 30 minutes. She was covered with bloody wounds. I'll never forget her agonizing screams," says Hundley in the PSA. "Please never take your children to a Ringling Bros. circus."
Hundley worked on Ringling's animal crew for two months. During that time, she witnessed incidents of abuse, including the following:
An elephant was beaten with bullhooks so severely in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2006 that she bled profusely and cried out in pain.
A trainer viciously whipped a camel and punched a miniature horse in the face.
Trainers jabbed horses with pitchforks and gave them extremely painful "lip twists" to force the animals to obey commands.
If you are interested in participating, please contact GARP Atlanta.
