The Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus is coming to Leonardtown  April 29th and 30th. #Please help to stop this from happening!

The Cole Bros. Circus has consistantly failed to meet minimum federal standards for the care of animals used in exhibition as established in the Animal Welfare Act. #:angry: # #There are more than twenty documented cases of neglect and cruelty against the circus... #Many communities have banned live animal acts, and St. Mary's County should be one of them. #

Animals do not naturally ride bicycles, stand on their heads, balance on balls, or jump through rings of fire.... #to force them to do these cruel acts the "trainers" use various tools such as whips, electric shock, muzzles and bullhooks, (to name a few). #

Please take a stand against the circus!!! #

Obviously I am way slow on replying...

No I don't eat meat.  After watching videos of what goes on in slaughterhouses, I don't intend to ever again.  And to be completely honest, I have never felt better in my life.

I have visited PETA's website on many occasions.  I don't think that they are extreme at all.  I don't agree with everything that they stand for, but I do agree with most of it.  Regardless, though, whatever PETA stands for or doesn't stand for or where it spends the money it receives, is beside the point.   The POINT is still the mistreatment of animals in the circus...

Now are you gonna make that phone call or what?  :cheesy:

I like the circus.. and I like my steak medium well, and my chicken fried.. we've been wearing furs since the beginning of time, and natural furs are better for the environment then something synthetic ANY day.. and if we lived in Korea we wouldn't have to worry about Greyhound adoptions.. :duel:

Buncha tree-hugging, bleeding-heart, Jane Fonda-school-of-commonsense, Al Gorelicks!

How's that?

PETA? I don't mind PETA. Put some sour cream, feta cheese, grilled veal, and garlic and tomato in there, it's not bad.

Sounds like the stuff I do at work. It sucks for both them and me :shrug:

Change "trainer" to "supervisor" and it sound like a typical day at the office :bawl:

I'm going to be very frank here.  I'm not trying single anyone out; I'm addressing the entire membership of this forum (including myself).

I'm not too surprised by the way this thread has run.  I joined this forum fairly recently, and have found that personal attacks, name calling, and sterotyping is very common.  I've been on several other forums (for various fields of interest of mine) and I've rarely seen it to this extent.  It seems at times that people are more interested in bashing others than in discussing the topic of a particular thread.

There have been some threads with good discussions of interesting topics, where people presented their views with a polite tone.  I think we all (myself included) need to think before we type.  Even if we are well intentioned, it's very easy for the typed word to be taken in a manner other than it was intended.  I've seen this happen to myself and others on various forums.

I'm a non-Christian Democrat with moderately liberal tendancies, from a big city, so often my views are different than many of the people on this forum.  I usually respect other people's views and try to see things their way, even if I may not agree with them.  If I think a person is a complete moron, I don't post it, as if I were talking to the person face to face.

Stereotyping is another thing that leads to this nastiness.  Saying things like, "you're a liberal, and therefore an idiot" or "you're a Republican, and therefore a hypocrite" does not help get your point across, and in fact paints you in a bad light (by the way, feel free to swap liberal and Republican in that example - liberals can be hypocrites just as easily as Republicans can be idiots).  There are as many opinions on this website as there are members, so sterotyping is uncalled for.

OK, I've spoken my mind.

BudoPro, Oh Puh Lease!  :barf:  If I wanted polite, I'd go spend the day chitty chatting with my mother over flowers! :twitch:  If everyone were to be polite to me on these forums I'd be nodding off from the shear boredom of it all!  :snooze:
