Ringling Bros. Circus Vigil

On March 25, 2004, more than 50 COK activists held a silent vigil on the opening night of the Ringling Bros. Circus in Washington, D.C.

Circus-goers saw graphic footage of the routine violence Ringling uses to train animals to perform for our entertainment on COK’s FaunaVision mobile theater. Passersby and patrons alike also took flyers about the cruelty endured by animals used by Ringling Bros.
