One big reason to join ARFF’s circus protests
November 15th, 2010 by admin
The Cole Bros. Circus will be in Florida until the end of November. This week ARFF is holding protests against the circus in Melbourne on Tuesday, and in Lauderhill on Wednesday (vist ARFF’s Events Calendar for details). We hope you’ll join us, but if you need some encouragement consider the fate of “Val,” a three-year-old elephant traveling with the circus. In the wild, baby elephants like Val would still be with her mother. But Val was born into a circus. She was taken from her mother prematurely and forced to do unnatural tricks. Val is under the control of Tim Frisco, a “trainer” who is infamous for an undercover video that captured him beating elephants.
