Hi Mr. Albero.
I am a representative of the Animal Advocates of the Eastern Shore. I am a big reader of sbynews.com, and use it to trace local events. I was wandering if ths would be of interest to you and your readers.
Traveling Zoos are fun for the kids, but not for the animals that are abused, forced to perform, and forced to go on a cross country road-trip from hell. Animals of this particular traveling attraction have been trained by pain, humiliation, and physical abuse.
A zoo is supposed to be a place where you can observe animals in imitations of their natural habitats, not gawk at animals and get circus-like attractions, such as elephant or camel rides or rent giraffes or kangaroos for commercial events that will be bound to stress out the animal..
And as citizens of Maryland's Eastern Shore, we have the right and responsibility to raise awareness of the injustice on wheels that is coming to the Wicomico County civic Center from March 12 and 13th from 10 til 7 the first day, and 10 til 6 the second day. Come show your support for the animals who don't deserve the pain and suffering of a traveling zoo show.

Seriously?
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you start here at home, with all the dogs tied to trees and forced to stay outside 24/7. These animals are abused daily by being neglected or treated as a show piece in certain cultures here on the shore. I pass atleast 4 dogs every morning tied to trees with no shelter. Why don't you use some of your time and energy to help educate people about basic animal ownership instead of just attacking one group who you don't know really for sure how they treat their animals.
Do you have proof about this group hurting their animals? Has said group ever had complaints lodged against them in other states, cities?
Stop hyper-focusing on one event. If you really want to make a difference start at home.
Can this person also supply us with evidence that this particular traveling zoo show are trained in pain, humiliation, and physical abuse?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am the represenative who sent the email. If you or anyone else would like to see a list of complete violation that the traveling zoo has commited, check out our flier on facebook. Type in "animal advocates of the eastern shore". Go on our events section, click on the protest, and their is a flier with all the information you will need. You can also rsvp for the event from that location.
I read everything that you said to and I still believe that your energy would be better used here locally educating our neighbors on taking care of the animals that live here.
ReplyDeleteIt's been tried here!!! People don't seem to listen! New laws were made to help protect the animals----Are they being inforced?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look like they are---not the way they should be.
Animals in the zoo were never ment to be held in captivity as they are. They were ment to roam free!!! Being caged in inhumane! They are used for profit! Greed, the #1 thing that destroys!!!!
