so i just sent a ton of email letters to different companies and people regarding animal rights and treatment. in regards to the circus (posted below), Nissan's new Eco friendly car being leather free, Husky sledding dogs being bred and left neglected...there are so many things you can advocate against!

i sent a letter to both of the newspapers in this area, and here is what it said:

To whom it may concern:

It is to my general knowledge that the circus comes almost regularly, if not annually to the Hampton Coliseum. Each year, these events are advertised in newspapers all over the country, as well as online and on television. These circuses are horrible examples of torture to poor defenseless animals, all for some form of cruel entertainment. I am sure you get many of these letters each year, but please, understand that if your paper refused to advocate for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum &Bailey this year, you would be helping those animals who cannot help themselves. There are so many people who read your newspapers religiously, and if you just refrained from giving the circus any free publicity, you would be helping many scared and hurt animals. I ask you to think of your childhood pets, your current pets, your favorite animals. Would you willingly submit them to torture for the entertainment of others? Many people who purchase tickets for these shows are uneducated about the horrors that go on behind the scenes.Elephants are beautiful and intelligent creatures, who have amazing memories and loving nature. No animal deserves to be confined in an unnatural and insensitive manner, and no animal deserves the torture that they are subjected to. These animals are punished for doing nothing wrong, and are manipulated into painful positions that they would never find themselves in naturally just for the benefit of the circus performers, and under the fear of more painful torment. I know that you would never wish for these sensitive and beautiful animals to undergo this pain if you had a choice. But you do have a choice! If you refrain from promoting the circus this year in your newspaper, you have already helped these animals dearly. By educating yourself and others against the mistreatment of animals, you can help protect those who are incapable and who cannot help themselves. I greatly thank you for your time and understanding.

Sincerely,
Meghann Steele
