Ionia, MI: Banana Derby Demo

Please join local activists and PETA supporters to speak up against the Banana Derby at the Ionia Free Fair.

In the Banana Derby, an absurd event that travels to fairs across the country, capuchin monkey “jockeys” are strapped to dogs forced to run around a racetrack at high speed. While the controversial event is quickly waning in popularity, we need your help to urge the owner, Philip Hendricks, to end the races and retire the monkeys to reputable sanctuaries.
