Remember Doc Antle from the Today show controversy yesterday? Well, here he and his group are again today – in the news. Seems he’s everywhere and that’s why it’s so important to try to shut down huge exhibitors like this guy. Just take a look at the pictures of all the baby performers at this show, as well as the liger, and imagine their lives being carted around and taken from their mothers.
Since the organizers seem awestruck by the 900 lb liger and this exhibition’s claim that they’re saving these species from extinction, please write and help educate King Richard’s Faire press contact at:
Exhibitors are auditioned and hired every April. Please ask the organizers not to rehire this act, or any like it, at:
