Ask Shriners to Stop Exploiting Animals

Otero County, NM, United States
Created April 11, 2010

The Issue

On April 9, an elephant imprisoned by Shrine Circus became "startled" and kicked and stomped a circus worker to death in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Compassionate individuals have been prevailing upon the Shriners to stop using animals for years to no avail, despite the fact that their circuses are implicated in a growing list of deadly incidents involving wild animals.

Please sign below to ask the Shriners to end their despicable exploitation of animals. Please also consider sending a paper letter (feel free to use part or all of the sample text below):

Shriners International Headquarters
2900 Rocky Point Drive
Tampa, FL 33607
