Of course I got no response but I didn't see the displays up in the library last time I went. (I also threw away a display when no one was looking :) ))Demandreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08930488635661836337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106603784162758314.post-38852058022510880312008-07-16T17:31:00.000-07:002008-07-16T17:31:00.000-07:00This is so true: "If kids knew how the animals are treated, they will tell their friends and so on and attendance numbers would drop significantly. Children shouldn't be made spectators of these broken wild animals and if given the choice and told the truth, their generation will be the death of this tradition."<BR/><BR/>Believe it or not, one effective way to break the chain of this cruel cultural tradition is to talk to the librarians around the country who do the bidding of Ringling by hosting "Reading with Ringling" summer programs for innocent children and their unsuspecting parents. And if the librarians don't "get it," then show up and politely protest at these events! <BR/><BR/>To see what I mean, go to www.ReadingWithRingling.com. You can track exactly which libraries are in cahoots with Ringling! That'll give you a means of challenging a key method the circus uses to indoctrinate children.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for caring -- about the animals and our kids!Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05047671522860974642noreply@blogger.com
