The Circus is Coming . . .My Parents Are Idiots . . .

Now Playing: "Why Do You Love Me?" Garbage
Garden Bros. Circus is in Hamilton on Thursday and I'm going their to hand out pamphlets about how circus animals a treated by their trainers and handlers and DVDs/VHS tapes of the the beatings and abuse that are common place for circus animals.

I really have to do a lot of research on Garden Bros. Circus tonight. They're very shady and good at covering things up so it's going to be difficult to get their actual history.

I've seen their Asian elephants though, they're very unhappy looking and you can really see where they've been hit with the bullhooks hard. I'm going to try to get in there early tomorrow so I can watch them unload the elephants.

I've not seen their Arabian horses but last year when I was holding up my protest sign I had a lady going into the show who called me "a fucking idiot" that but when she came out she was in tears and she apologized to all of the protestors because she's worked with horses all her life and as soon as those Arabians came out she knew what had been done to them and she knew that they were malnurished and sick.

My mother was asking if I wanted to go pick up my cheque and my glasses tomorrow and I said "No, I have a circus protest to go to." and then she asked when and where and I assumed that she wanted to know so maybe we could pickup my stuff earlier and maybe she'd drop me off to where I needed to go, so I told her. Then she asked how much the tickets were . . .WTF? She plans on taking the grandkids there. Grrr. There is a carnival in town that they could have much more fun at for less money aswell, for fuck's sake!

*sigh* My parents are fucking red-necks. They know exactly what happens to the circus animals and it's not like they don't believe it . . .they just don't care. It really pisses me off that sometimes they GO OUT OF THEIR WAY in order to do something cruel to animals.
