Delia's clothing company used to be one of several retailers that sold Ringling Bros. T-shirts.

I say "used to be" because today, the company's CEO contacted us to say that Delia's will be pulling the shirts from its Web site, its stores, and its October catalog by this Friday, September 11.

Thanks to the countless concerned people who took the time to write and call the company to ask it to stop promoting Ringling's cruel treatment of animals.

We hope that you'll take a second to write to Delia's and thank it for making the compassionate decision.

Business and the almighty dollar does not have to be the God of this world. It is so good to take protection of the vulerable and defenseless animalsto heart. Money can be made in so many ways. Animal cruelty and death does not have to be one of them.
