<DIV>Hope everyone is having a nice summer...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Unfortunately August means the annual return of the Shrine Circus
where elephants, horses and possibly other animals (it doesn't look
like any large cats based on the site <A
href="http://www.shrine-circus.com/"><FONT
color=#ff0000>http://www.shrine-circus.com/</FONT></A> ) will be
performing tricks under confining, unatural and miserable conditions
and we've all heard the horror stories of what goes on behind the
scenes..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We would VERY MUCH like to do a media event to raise as much awareness
in the community as possible about cruel exotic animal acts that teach
children absolutely nothing except disrespect for animals. And while giving
out leaflets to circus goers 'may' convince a few people not to
return, it doesn't really compare to a broadcast or newspaper article
about the cruelty issues of animal circuses.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So...we'd like to do some STREET THEATRE but this will not be
possibly without peoples' active support and participation as I can no
longer cover costs out of my own pocket. So far only half of the people
from the last meeting have gotten back to me so unless we can find more
volunteers, we will likely have to go with a standard (less effective)
protest.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is the list for jobs we need your help with!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>- people to commit to come to the protest
<STRONG>THURSDAY AUGUST 10TH from 6:15PM to 7:30PM</STRONG> outside the
St. Laurent Shopping Centre parking lot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>- someone to wear an elephant costume and act like
a frightened elephant</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>- someone to wear a Shriner costume and lead
the elephant around against its' will or possibly bullhook the
elephant.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>- people to commit to contribute to the cost
of the following- elephant costume, shriner costume including maroon suit,
glasses, white wig, 'fatsuit' or body suit to be stuffed with pillows, hat,
glasses. I would attempt to find as much as I could at Goodwill but the
approximate costs would still be around 80$ as the elephant costume
rental is from a costume shop. So we'd need at least 12 people contributing
about $7 each.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>If you can help with <U>any</U> or a <U>few</U> or the above please let
me know as soon as possible. Only with your participation can we make circus
animal slavery a thing of the past!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you,</DIV>
