Stop Ringling Bros.' Expansion Near New York City - No Animal Abuse!
Target: New York City Officials and Taconic Investments' CEO
Sponsored by: PETA
Sponsored by: PETA
New York City officials recently announced that the notorious elephant abusers at Ringling Bros. Circus will be at Coney Island for several months this summer thanks to a land donation from Taconic Investments.
PETA has contacted the city and Taconic to let them know of Ringling's lengthy history of animal abuse and numerous eyewitness accounts of abuse from previous Ringling employees, but they refuse to sever ties with the animal-abusing act.
Send a message to New York City officials and Taconic Investments' CEO letting them know that you'll be crossing Coney Island off your destination list as long as it's the home of animal abusers!

Elephants and all other "performing animals" should not be forced to perform where it involves mistreatment, abuse or torture. Elephants are beautiful creatures and should be treated with kindness and dignity.

Ever since I was a small child, I loved to go to the circus,especially to see the animals! Now that I'm grown, &, have a child of my own,AND KNOW how these poor animals are mistreated,abused,&, exploited....I would NEVER go to, or, take my child to,another circus for as long as I live!! The more people that find out the ugly truth, the less people will come to see "The Greatest Show on Earth!"Maybe, you should "update" your show.

The City is not showing good judgment and integrity in allowing animal abuse to go on under its endorsement.

People need to stop going to these kinds of circuses! Animal cruelty is not OK! Cirque de Soleil is hugely popular and there are no animals in their shows. Get a clue Ringling Bros! I will NEVER set foot in one of your shows you evil people!

"Performing animals in circuses? Is this in 2003 or some bygone age? Sadly, it is the former. It is beyond belief that in our so-called enlightened society animals are still incarcerated in cages and travelling wagons, chained, trundled around the country and forced to perform inane tricks in the name of entertainment. Perhaps the bright lights blind the spectators to the truth of what they are watching. India has banned tigers, lions, leopards, bears and monkeys from the circus ring. A wonderful start. Shame on all those circus owners who don't follow their lead. Those of you who have seen the 'Cirque du Soleil' will know what the circus should really be about. Exciting, colourful, fun, dramatic and not an animal in sight."
