Jordan World Circus has dropped elephant acts

 

Victory!

Dear,

Over the last couple of months, PETA asked supporters like you to speak up on behalf of Viola—the world’s most desperate elephant. Viola has attempted to escape her abusers at least four times across the five decades she has been forced to perform in circuses. Thanks to PETA supporters' actions, Jordan World Circus has dropped elephant acts, effective immediately!

More than 600,000 emails were sent to venues hosting Viola, and supporters held demonstrations outside dozens of venues hosting Jordan World Circus. Folks called the box office, left polite comments on social media, and altogether made it impossible for Jordan World Circus to ignore our pleas to save Viola. That kind of pressure doesn’t go unnoticed! While Viola’s freedom hasn’t been secured yet—she’s still being held by Carson & Barnes Circus, which could send her back out on the road at any point—this development is great news. As more and more circuses decide to end the use of animals for entertainment, animals like Viola spend less time on the road and have a better chance of making it to an accredited sanctuary. Our focus now is to get Carson & Barnes Circus to send Viola and other elephants to an accredited sanctuary.

Help Viola and Elephants Like Her Now

Thanks for everything that you do to help animals. Sincerely,
