Dear Friends,

The Courtney Brothers Circus is on the road again and they are pulling into Drogheda this week. Local people have arranged to hold a peaceful, educational protest this coming Friday, June 8th at 6.30pm to 7.30pm at the circus which is near Tesco in the town centre. It's important the organisers receive support in their efforts to educate potential circus goers about the suffering animals endure in the circus.

An ARAN spokesperson will also be on LMFM radio tomorrow morning, June 6, after 9am to speak about our national 'Stop Circus Suffering in Ireland' campaign, our efforts to ban animal-acts in this country, and our request to Drogheda Borough Council to ensure that it's the last visit of the Courtney Brothers Circus, and indeed any other animal-act circus going forward.

Thank you for all that you are doing to help animals and for using your voice to speak out for those who cannot.

Kind regards,

Stephan Wymore
