See you at the fair?
February 5th, 2010 by admin
Fair season has begun. This week the Florida State Fair kicked off, and the Charlotte County Fair and Collier County Fair also opened their gates. Next week is the start of the Osceola County Fair, followed by the Pasco County Fair, the Central Florida Fair, and others.
Fairs are great for funnel cakes, demolition derbies, talent competitions, horticulture shows, rickety Midway rides and people watching. But at fairs in Florida this year you’re also likely to find a depressing sea lion act, muzzled bears doing ridiculous tricks, a solitary elephant suffering through daily shows, or Midway games where goldfish and iguanas are given away as prizes.
If you make it to a fair this year, please contact ARFF if you find a cruel animal act, and then complain to fair management. Let them know that exploitive animal shows ruin the fun of the fair.
