Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Coco <cocohall Mon, 6 Aug 2007 05:04:48 -0700 Fun demo at Six Flags Hey Elephant Lovers! We’re doing a FUN demo at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo on Sunday, August 26th, and we’re dressing for the occasion….AS CLOWNS. Why clowns? Because being a captive elephant isn’t funny. So don your red nose and floppy clothes and join us at 11:00 at the entrance. Free The Six Flags Seven! PS Non-clowns are welcome but no chocolate cigar. CONTACT: Coco Hall, 415-332-2646, cocohall WHO: Marin Peace and Justice/Animalistas of Marin/Free the Six Flags Seven WHAT: Theatrical Demonstration to protest the confinement and abuse of the elephants at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom WHERE: Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Vallejo, CA WHEN: Sunday, August 26, 2007 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM WHY: The seven captive elephants at Six Flags are suffering from abuse, restraint, foot disease due to cramped space and standing on hard packed earth and concrete, and no freedom to socialize. Also the public is exposed to serious danger from contact with tense elephants and elephant rides. BACKGROUND: Free The Six Flags Seven will appeal to the crowds with street theater, costumes, and a five-foot high bullhook. Elephant trainers at Six Flags use bullhooks to control, intimidate, and hurt the elephants. National animal rights group, In Defense of Animals, has staged weekly protests at the park, has released a report based on health records proving abuse of the elephants, and is suing Six Flags for defamatory statements and lying about their elephant care.
