I called all City Council and Mayors offices. I felt that some assistants had trouble understanding what was specifically being asked. 'We cant prevent the circus from coming to town' etc. But when explained that the circus is here at least annually and continues to use instruments of pain to 'discipline' the elephants I think the message got through. Most seemed very receptive, and one was clearly supportive. We all need to call in and continue to protest Ringling.

Thank you for posting this. I will put it on my "todo" list for tomorrow when I get off work.
