The US Dept. of Agriculture has cited Shrine Circus animal exhibitors for numerous violations. In 2011, a USDA Inspection Report noted the elephants were not under the direct control of handlers. In 2010, an animal handler was killed by an African elephant named Dumbo after being kicked and thrown 20 feet. In 2009, the Hejaz Shrine Circus failed to provide veterinary care for elephants who were all in horrific condition and each were underweight by more than 500 lbs. The list of abuses and violations goes on.
Please take the Shrine Circus poll now and let them know you don’t support elephants or any animal in a circus by selecting options from their list of preferred circus acts that by their very nature exclude animals.
