This year, PETA has a van following Ringling at every stop. A young man named Jason Bayless has been hot on their tail all the way. Check out  http://blog.peta.org/archives/2007/06/hey_peta_pimp_m.php for more info. He will be here in Portland with video cameras, posters, signs, leaflets, costumes, etc.... We will be ready for Ringling when they arrive and we will be following them on their elephant walk from the train to the Rose Garden, no matter what time of day or night they arrive. We need some volunteers to help with this.....to video and show support and watch the elephants and their reactions to the trainers, etc... It could be the middle of the night, early morning or mid-afternoon but we HAVE to be there. If you would like to help with this special opportunity, please let me know. I can give you an ETA of their arrival.
We need at least 3-5 people at each showtime. Clown costumes are welcomed. We will have a video playing and will be announcing abuses by Ringling and their failure to meet even minimal federal standards for the care of animals used in their circus and handing out our circus coloring books."
