Last Chance for Animals to Protest Ringling Bros. LA Shows
Last Chance for Animals to Hold Protests at Ringling Bros. Los Angeles Shows July 14-19 Outside Staples Center
Last Chance for Animals (“LCA”), an international animal advocacy organization, has been at the forefront fighting to free all animals from the circus for over 30 years. LCA’s founder, Chris DeRose, was once spied on by a Ringling Bros. operative in 1993, and secretly videotaped discussing his views on cruelty to elephants within the circus.
As part of its’ No Circus Cruelty campaign, LCA has produced a “TOP 5 REASONS WHY THE CIRCUS ISN’T COOL” video to help inform the general public on the inhumane treatment of animals in circuses. The video can be accessed for distribution at the following link:

1. Circus animals are subjected to cruel training methods.
2. Animals are forced to perform demeaning and unnatural “tricks”.
3. Small cages cruelly entrap naturally free-roaming animals.
4. Animals are exposed to intense heat and freezing weather.
5. Animals travel up to 100 hours straight 11 months of the year.
The elephants are finally out of Ringling Bros. circus – it’s time to ban the other animals, too!
This month, LCA will be joining protesters outside the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus’ Los Angeles performances July 14-19, 2016. The upcoming performances will be Ringling’s first shows in Los Angeles without the elephants, but the circus continues to abuse other animals, including lions, tigers, and camels in their shows.
