While > spokespersons for the museum have admitted that the exhibit does not draw > much in the way of crowds or money, they have refused to consider stopping > this form of entertainment despite public concerns for both cruelty to > animals, and the effects this may have on adult or child visitors. > > Last November the museum received over 4000 letters and calls urging > them to stop this exploitation ,and a 15- person protest was held the > weekend before the event to no avail. > > This year, we hope to make a stronger impression. The Fall Board of > Director's meeting is being held on Friday, Sept. 7th and we are planning to > protest this brutality for a full week in advance of that meeting starting > on Sept. 1st. We DESPERATELY need people to commit to a few hours on one or > more of the mentioned days as we will seem weak in our convictions should > only a small turnout take place. Please help spread the word and see if you > or others cannot spare at least one day.
