Another Victory! Lukoil Ends Ringling Promotions

Written by PETA

Posted 01-24-2008

We’re just knocking them out of the park at the moment. Literally two hours after posting an alert on our site asking members to contact the American subsidiary of Russian oil-giant Lukoil about their promotion of the Ringling Bros. Circus, the company has made the compassionate decision to cut all ties with the circus due to its history of animal abuse. Or, as they put it in their email to us: "Per our conversation today, we do not have a sponsorship/partnership with Ringling Bros. and are not going to in the future."

Thanks, guys! And thanks to everyone who helped us out by letting Lukoil know what they were getting into.

I have always loved animals but before watching PETA's footage on Elephant cruelty I was ignorant of same I had heard of "Mexican Circuses" but knowing what goes on right under our American noses makes me sick My best regards to the investigators.

wow asskick it took you 5 days to come up with that? Your mastery of the english language knows no bounds I never would have thought of writing a whole sentence backwards. What exactly was the effect you were trying to acheive? Assuming I take joy irritating obnoxious bullies then I would say I was on the right site. Everything else you say is true. Did you figure that all out by yourself or did mummy help. Constuctive and informative as expected glad you could spare the time to reply!!!!!!!!!!!

asskick boy do you choose the wrong people to pick on. If you are seeking to endear yourself to hardliners then I suggest you stick to abusing AARA's like me and not the Judiths of this world. At least she exudes compassion not bullyboy aggression. You'll probably get over that after puberty. You appear to be under the impression that rights and welfare are mutually exclusive. All power to you you have more effect on support for animal liberation than I could ever hope to accomplish through truth and reason. Read that last sentence slowly and carefully and if you still don't understand just start by asskick asks rojo... I look forward to your next informative and constructive post. Yes I know playing with your psuedonym is juvenile it's just to RYBP for extra performance.

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
