SUMMARY:Independence\, MO: Protest for Animals Abused by Ararat Shrine

DESCRIPTION:Please join PETA and local animal advocates in a peaceful prote
	st to urge the Ararat Shriners to drop animal acts from their circus.\nAni
	mals used in circuses live under the constant threat of being hit with wea
	pons like whips and sharp steel-tipped bullhooks to force them to perform 
	and give rides. Video footage shows the head trainer for Carson & Barnes C
	ircus—which has provided the cruel elephant act for the Ararat Shrine Circ
	us—instructing trainers to sink bullhooks into the elephants’ flesh and tw
	ist them until they scream. Carson & Barnes’ appallingly long history of a
	nimal abuse also includes citations for nearly 150 violations of the feder
	al Animal Welfare Act.\nAcross the country\, venues\, communities\, and st
	ates have prohibited or restricted animal acts\, while major circuses have
	 gone animal-free\, recognizing that people don’t want to see animals subj
	ected to a lifetime of confinement\, coercion\, and suffering.\nContrary t
	o a common misconception\, ticket sales aren’t charitable donations: the p
	rofits are generally used to maintain the club’s premises and fund its act
	ivities.\nFor more information and to take action\, please visit:  https:/
	/support.peta.org/page/1860/action/1?locale=en-US \nWHEN:\nThursday\, Nove
	mber 19\, 6-730 p.m.\nFriday\, November 20\, 6-7:30 p.m.\nSaturday\, Novem
	ber 21\, 10-11:30 a.m.\nSaturday\, November 21\, 5-6:30 p.m.\nSunday\, Nov
	ember 22\, 12 noon-1:30 p.m.\nWHERE: \nCable Dahmer Arena - 19100 E. Valle
	y View Pkwy\, Independence\, MO 64055 (Please see this map for the exact m
	eeting location:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/pj1QdeQWjk7yWbWeA )\nCONTACT: Jo
	seph at JRondou@peta.org\nAll materials\, such as posters and leaflets\, w
	ill be provided.\nPlease refrain from bringing dogs\, as there might not b
	e a comfortable place for them to lie down during the protest.\nOutreach e
	vents are a fun and effective way to help animals and meet local advocates
	\, so be sure to invite others!\nWe hope to see you there!
