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!

As a mother and animal lover, I think it is a disgrace that these circuses are still going on. With how far we have come in this country, how can we sleep at night after seeing what these innocent, beautiful animals go through. I watched the under cover video and I had to stop it. I actually felt nauseated.

Is it really that difficult not to abuse performing animals in the circus? This seems to be a chronic problem, and the circus should be shut down if it can't get its act together. Having a circus is for entertainment, it certainly isn't a necessity.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am shocked and disheartened to see that the city will permit Ringling Bros. to set up a circus this summer on Coney Island. By allowing these performances, Taconic Investments and the city are endorsing an enterprise that routinely abuses animals. I refuse to patronize any business on Coney Island as long as the circus is there. The circus rips baby elephants away from their mothers and forces them into a life of pain, humiliation and loneliness. Animals used in the circus are beaten with bullhooks, whipped and shocked with electric prods to force them to perform physically painful and confusing tricks. Animals are denied the fulfillment of all their natural instincts. This outdated circus with its routine animal abuse is not welcome on Coney Island. Sincerely, Mark Broome

I saw this circus when I was very young, before I knew of these abuses. It was a great show without the animals. They don't need them, please don't encourage them to do business as usual by allowing them to use animals in this way, especially in NY. Coney Island doesn't need an elephant stampeding people to death when you're trying to revive interest in it.
