Ask Shriners to Stop Exploiting Animals

Ask Shriners to Stop Exploiting Animals

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
