The Ravenna Habitat for Humanity is sponsoring one of the most inhumane practices: the circus. The modern day circus is a horrific example of animal abuse as these poor creatures are dragged from city to city to entertain popcorn and pop guzzling crowds. Here's a quote from the PETA website:


PETA's undercover investigators have obtained disturbing video footage of the horrific abuse inflicted on animals in circuses. In the footage, Tim Frisco—an animal care director in the Carson & Barnes Circus—instructs would-be trainers to use steel&-tipped bullhooks to force elephants to perform tricks. Frisco embeds the sharp metal hook into an elephant's sensitive skin, causing her to bellow in pain, as he says, "Sink that hook into 'em. When you hear that screaming, then you know you got their attention!" ( Yes, this is the SAME circus coming to Ravenna)

If you don't believe PETA, check out the video for yourself...or go to other websites to further your education on the lousy life these animals have to endure for our "entertainment"

The businesses who sponsor this circus by selling tickets get an F in humane practices: First Place Bank, Home Savings Bank, Portage Community Bank, Triangle Pharmacy, Davey Tree, Fifth Third Bank, Portage Path Title Agency.

Don't help the Habitat for Humanity pay for houses with the blood of helpless animals.
