Signed.  If anyone needs anymore convincing that these "trainers" are cruel to their animals please watch the video showing trainers whipping and beating elephants and tigers.  :(

Received this email which is some good news:

 
 
Dear

Just a week and a half ago, we told you that Delia's—a store that sells cute and trendy T-shirts—was offering a shirt that promoted Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus as "The Greatest Show on Earth." We all knew that description couldn't be further from the truth, as Ringling is known for beating animals.

You wrote and called Delia's asking the company's CEO and employees to pull the shirt from its Web site and stores and stop promoting Ringling's abuse of elephants and other animals who suffer under the big top. Thanks to the efforts of compassionate people like you, we have learned from the CEO himself that the shirts will be pulled from store shelves and will be off the Web site no later than Friday, September 11! Please take a second to thank Delia's for its compassionate decision!

Life is hell on Earth for elephants and other animals who are exploited by Ringling—and because of your hard work, Ringling Bros. has taken yet another hit. This is a major victory for Tonka, Luna, and all the other elephants who desperately need help but have no voice. Because of you, people can no longer purchase this shirt and become walking billboards for Ringling and its abuse, and Ringling knows that companies don't want to be a part of its scummy history of cruelty to animals.

On behalf of elephants and animals everywhere, I thank you!

Sincerely,

Desiree Acholla
Animals in Entertainment Specialist

This is certainly good news but we need to see ALL animals taken away from these places, animals were meant to be free not offered for entertainment >:(
