Protesters Take a Stand Against Animal Cruelty in Minneapolis

Thanks to the MANY folks who came out to demonstrate last fall against the Shrine Circus’s use of wild animals. 

We had record numbers of kids and adults at the demos, including a group of kids from the James Schiffer Metro School- with their homemade signs! 

We had so many demonstrators we were able to split into two groups and we educated circus-goers both on the street AND in the skyway. We handed out hundreds of flyers and thousands saw our signs. 

Education DOES work! Many people thanked us for being there, some said this was their last circus, and some circus-goers even turned around and headed home after they saw our signs and spoke with us.  

Every one of you who speaks up for these unfortunate animals makes a difference. Whether you see immediate results or not, know we ARE winning the public over, slowly but surely. 

Thank you again! Now let’s keep the pressure on… see photos of the event
