LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - July 16, 2007) - Last Chance for Animals (LCA) will lead the
protest against Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus "Walk of Shame."
Ringling Bros. will be unloading their transport trains and walking the
circus animals to the Staples Center from the corner of Alameda and 25th
Street in Los Angeles at 4:00 AM, Tuesday morning.
"Ringling Bros. is not welcome in Los Angeles. If the politicians won't do
anything to stop this animal cruelty, we will. LCA is disgusted with the
politics at the expense of the animals. We hold the politicians personally
responsible for the animal abuse that commonly occurs at the Ringling Bros.
Circus. The U.S.D.A. cites Ringling Bros constantly for violations of the
Animal Welfare Act. It is time that the city of Los Angeles bans animal
circuses," said Chris DeRose, LCA President and Founder. "It is politics
as usual in L.A. with animal suffering as usual."
What: Walk of Shame - Ringling Bros unloads the transport trains and
walks the circus animals to the Staples Center.
When: Tuesday, July 17th, 4:00 AM
Where: Clement Junction
Corner of E. 25th Street and So. Alameda Street
Los Angeles, CA 90058
Who: LCA President and Founder Chris DeRose
