Background on Animals Exploited by Circus Vazquez

 

Vazquez is the circus that, last year, was responsible for a tiger being mauled to death after cramming six tigers in one, small cage.

 

Circus Vazquez now uses Hanneford elephants - the same elephants who were used last year by UniverSoul. 

 All elephants are,

of course, treated horribly in circuses and Hanneford is no exception.

In 2005 AR folks in FL got them kicked out of a gig they had for 15

years at Fort Lauderdale's Swap shop flea market. The Hanneford Family Circus' three elephants— " Carol, " " Liz " and " Patty " — are now traveling

with Vazquez Circus. During an inspection by the U.S. Department of

Agriculture, a veterinarian noted, " problems with foot conditions, of

all three elephants. " In 1990, Carol crushed a circus worker to death. 

 

I hope you can join us - please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks
