Stop The Shrine Circus From Returning To Kingston, Ontario.

The Issue

After four years the Shrine Circus is planning on coming back to Kingston on Aug 9th for two shows! The circus is a cruel and heartbreaking place for the innocent animals who are forced to perform multiple times a day and are dragged from city to city, year after year. Among them are Marie and Schell, two elderly elephants who have spent their captive lives chained and beaten. It's time to stand up for those who can not speak for themselves.  

This petition is to encourage the Memorial Center and the City of Kingston to cancel their dealings with the Shrine Circus and only support animal free circuses from now on for a kinder and more compassionate city. 

The last time they came in Kingston we had 211 protesters there to welcome them, lets show them that we are still here!
