Ringling Bros. was on trial earlier this year, for violating the Endangered Species Act, and Ringling employees' testimony revealed what activists have known for years:

All the Ringling handlers strike the elephants with a bullhook (a weapon resembling a fireplace poker). ** PETA just released a great new undercover video, taken this year, of Ringling employees beating and hitting elephants. Visit www.circuses.com to view the video and take action. **

Elephants are chained 16 to 22.5 hours a day, often much longer when they are on the train.

Baby elephants are taken from their mothers to be broken and trained to do unnatural tricks for the circus. The "Breaking process" involves: (1) taking the baby elephants from their mothers while they are still nursing; (2) isolating the babies from all other elephants; (3) tying the babies up so they are severely restricted in their movement and not even able to turn around; and (4) hitting the babies with bullhooks. One baby elephant was tied up for four months and only untied for 40 minutes a day to be trained. A truly traumatic ordeal for little baby elephants and their mothers.

The Ringling trial continues and a ruling is expected later this summer or Fall.

Please join us to let Ringling know they are not welcome in the Bay Area.

New Movie: "The Cove" coming to San Rafael.

•Thank you for your interest and for your consideration in participating in the campaign to Save Japan dolphins. We need your personal help to end the annual brutal killing of over 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the coast of Japan. “The Cove” documentary film is bringing to light what has been until now a clandestine “practice.” With your hands on help at the Rafael Theatre screenings we will bring more people into the campaign fold and bring an end to the brutal killing.

•For more info about the campaign, action to take, and to view the new trailer of this multi-award-winning movie visit http://www.savejapandolphins.org/ . Donations are key to our being able to expand efforts in Japan. There are three online letters that everyone should send. These are key aspects of our action plan and are very easy for people to do online. Let's get the number of letters sent way up!

•Please spread the word. Let your family, friends and community know. For a list of scheduled screenings nationwide, please visit http://thecovemovie.com/festivals/upcoming_screenings.htm
