Oreo Cookie Commerical promotes Elephant/Circus Abuse
Kraft Foods, your comercial on television to promote your new PEANUT BUTTER/CHOC. OREOS using a circus with elephants performing is promoting elephant/circus abuse and cruelty. The fact that you make Barnum and Bailey circus cookies questions the fact that you may not be aware of the cruelty going on in circuses.
"Circuses easily get away with routine abuse because no government
agency monitors training sessions. Trainers use bullhooks, whips,
sticks, electric prods, and other tools that intentionally cause pain
and injury in order to force animals to perform. Undercover footage
of behind-the-scenes training shows elephants beaten with bullhooks
and shocked with electric prods, big cats dragged by heavy chains
around their neck and hit with sticks, bears whacked and prodded with
long poles, and chimpanzees kicked and hit with riding crops." PeTA
"Ringling Bros. boasts that its two units travel more than 25,000 miles
as they tour across the country for 11 months each year. Constant
travel means that animals are confined to boxcars and trailers for
days at a time in extremely hot and cold weather, often without access
to basic necessities, such as food, water, and veterinary care." PeTA
"Some elephants spend almost their whole lives shackled. One study
of traveling circuses observed an elephant who spent up to 96 percent
of her time in chains. Tigers and lions usually live and travel in
cages 4 feet high by 7 feet long by 7 feet wide, with two big cats
crammed into a single cage. Big cats, bears, and primates are forced
to eat, drink, sleep, defecate, and urinate in the same cramped cages.
Please see this fact sheet about Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus:
http://www.circuses.com/pdfs/RinglingFactsheet.pdf " PeTA
Behind the scenes, elephant trainer Tim Frisco instructs would-be
trainers how to dominate elephants and make them perform circus tricks.
“Sink that hook into ’em. When you hear that screaming, then you know
you got their attention.” An elephant trumpets in agony as Frisco’s
bullhook, with its sharp metal hook and spiked end, tears through her
sensitive skin. Frisco, a Carson & Barnes elephant trainer, learned
the trade from his father, a former trainer for Ringling Bros. and
Barnum & Bailey Circus. Click here to watch the video.
The fact is, animals do not naturally ride bicycles, stand on their
heads, balance on balls, or jump through rings of fire. To force them
to perform these confusing and physically uncomfortable tricks,
trainers use whips, tight collars, muzzles, electric prods, bullhooks,
and other painful tools of the trade.
We petition you to pull this commerical so that we do not have to boycott your
Kraft products. You have listened to us when we called up you with the Road
Kill Gummie Bears and we would appreciate that same open mind and swift action with this situation.
Respectfully Yours,
