Tonight's protest: Animal rights activists to rally against Shrine circus

When Jason Miller started Bite Club of KC, the group's focus was squarely on saving the deer in Shawnee Mission Park. But the Lenexa resident is making good on his promise that the organization will target other forms of animal cruelty manifesting in Kansas City.

​Last month, a band of demonstrators gathered near the University of Kansas Medical Center to highlight the use of monkeys in brain-function experiments. Tonight their target is the Ararat Shrine Circus.

According to Bite Club:
Shrine Circuses have been notorious for their unmerciful cruelty to elephants, lions, and other forced circus performers. Not only are the circus animals at constant risk of injury and death, but so are those attending the show. Remember, elephants and tigers are wild animals, who have been stolen from their natural environment and placed into a very scary situation.
The protesters are planning to meet at 6:30 p.m. at the main entrance of Municipal Auditorium in downtown Kansas City.

Isn't that pretty much what these morons wanted to do with the deer and their deer auto assembler? they were even going to put up an observation tower so people could pay to look at the deer. they're only a couple of flaming hoops away from being a circus.

When animal rightists as animal terrorists aren't trying to put farmers out of business, they are trying to put businesses out of business. If they don't like circuses--they can always stay home.

Bite club does this city a good service. No profit should come to those who enslave and exploit animal. To see wildlife go to there home as a guest, not a circus where they are chained!
