We the undersigned request that you  immediately stop using animals in your circus. This is an outdated and abusive form of entertainment whose time has come. Other circuses, like Cirque de Soliel, are world renowned for their amazing list of talented entertainers and we want Ringling Bros to follow suit. Aside from the extensive and well documented abuse of animals you also have a long history of hiring undesirables like excons and homeless people which is also well documented. Thes are major concerns for the public and should be for you.

Jim Barnum, the founder of the circus you now run, once said 'There's a sucker born every minute' but now that sucker is you if you think people will continue to pay money to see tired and abused animals do stupid tricks when they can go see or rent the dvd of Cirque de Soleil and be really entertained. As long as you continue to use animals your once good name will be tarnished forever.

Finally we request the following:

* Stop using animals in your circus and let them all retire to santuaries for all they have given to your bank account
* Only hire talented people who don't have criminal records

Thank you for taking the time to read this and the list included.
