Urge LivingSocial to Cancel Cruel Ringling Bros. Promotion!
Despite
receiving information from PETA about Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Circus' long history of animal abuse, online deal
site LivingSocial continues to promote the cruel circus through online ticket deals.
Ringling has a lengthy history of animal abuse and neglect and was recently fined $270,000 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for dozens of violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act. According to former circus employees, Ringling trainers routinely beat elephants and jab them with sharp, metal bullhooks in order to force them to perform. Heartbreaking photos reveal how Ringling circus trainers cruelly force baby elephants to learn tricks—and it's not through a reward system, as the circus claims.
Please contact LivingSocial's CEO and its head of communications and politely ask them to agree never to promote Ringling again.
