Update on elephants - Ringling Bros

PETA asked for letters to Schwebel's Bakery which has offered discount tickets for the circus to its customers. I wrote: "I'm sure you at Schwebel's entered innocently into your arrangement with Ringling Brothers Circus. Please Hear the the voices that are now telling the truth about the circus's documented cruelty to elephants. Ask yourselves why the circus elephants wear such elaborate ornamented tapestry around their heads and necks -- it is to hide the wounds and scars from being beaten and jabbed with bull hooks. Of course the public relations campaigns about "The friendly circus" have been successful and have become a part of accepted myth in our society. But one of the good things about our society is that we can change when we learn a truth about cruelty that has been hidden from us."

News - Ringling Bros just had to cancel its scheduled appearances in Spain and parts of Germany because of new laws about animal cruelty.
