Arenas that Ringling. Bros Circus is Performing at 2011

Please write to these arenas asking them to STOP supporting animal abuse. They are supporting the abuse by allowing the circuses to have somewhere to perform.


The purpose of this is to finally put an end to the use of animals as entertainment in the circus and to educate the public about the animal abuse that occurs behind closed doors. To make this possible the first step is to make The Arenas aware of the repetitive animal abuse that goes on in the circus and tell them that they are supporting the abuse by allowing the circuses to have somewhere to perform. We want to encourage the convention centers to ban Ringling and other circuses from using their arena’s for next year.

Pet Safety Protection Act!


Reps. Mike Doyle, D-Pa. and Chris Smith, R-N.J. introduced the Pet Safety and Protection Act of 2011 which will finally put an end to B dealers B dealers obtain dogs and cats—often times these animals are stolen pets--through fraudulent sources—and sell them for experimentation. "The legislation, which was introduced with 23 original co-sponsors, would amend the Animal Welfare Act to make it illegal for Class B Dealers to sell random source dogs and cats to research institutions."(http://media-newswire.com/release_1153161.html)

This will be an amazing victory for the animals that are routinely abused and stolen for research

INFO ON B DEALERS
Nearly two million companion animals are stolen each year. Many of these animals are sold to research laboratories, dog-fighting rings or puppy mills, where they are abused and often killed.

Many of these pets find their way to research laboratories through USDA licensed Class “B” animal dealers. For a $10 fee, anyone can apply for a USDA Class “B” dealer license.

Class “B” dealers obtain animals from state, county or city owned and operated animal pounds or shelter, (this is called pound seizure), other USDA licensed “B” dealers and various random sources. However, “B” dealers also obtain animals from “bunchers."


Class “B” dealers have been shown to regularly and willingly do everything in their power to ensure family pets are sold to be tortured in research laboratories. The monetary incentives associated with selling lost and stolen family pets motivate “B” dealers to violate countless laws. Records are falsified, evidence of ownership, such as dog tags, are purposefully destroyed and no attempt is made to reunite microchipped animals with their families. Instead, these companion animals are kept in often squalid conditions before being sold for use in experimentation.
