On May 10th and 11th, together with other local animal lovers, our families held a peaceful protest against the use and mistreatment of animals in the Carson and Barnes Circus. Children and their parents stood near the entrance to circus parking holding posters of elephants in chains and wild cats in cages. We got the attention of circus patrons as well as that of other passersby and the local media. The Arizona Republic published a photograph and quotes of R&S members in an article entitled, “Circus is in town; so are protesters.” Background information and supplies for the protest came from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
