Ringling, AZA and Veg Fest...What a Busy Week!
What is an animal rights activist to do when a zoo association conference, the Ringling circus, and Veg Fest all converge in Portland in the same week? At IDA, we got busy! Thanks to all the amazing volunteers who came out and helped make this a fabulously successful week of outreach for the animals!
For two days, advocates held signs and leafleted to the conference attendees with the message, “Don’t let circuses off the hook for elephant abuse,” calling for the AZA to take a stand against circus abuse to elephants. And that was just Monday and Tuesday!
