@ is serving up a deep dish of cruelty by offering customers discounted Ringling Bros. Circus tickets in several California locations, despite viewing video footage from @’s recent undercover investigation showing workers beating elephants with sharp, metal-tipped bullhooks on their head, ears, and trunk.
Ringling Bros. is also the subject of a pending lawsuit claiming that the circus’s routine abuse of elephants violates the Endangered Species Act. Visit RinglingBeatsAnimals.com for more info.
UPDATE: Since @ replied falsely claiming that this sponsorship has concluded PETA was informed of an additional promotion in Sacramento.
Our involvement with the circus in CA was a local market sponsorship that has concluded. Thank you for expressing concern @.
