Please join PETA supporters in a peaceful protest of the Carden Circus for their use of animals, including Betty, the world's most depressed elephant. Betty was torn from her home in Thailand as a baby and condemned to a lifetime of exploitation. The 56-year-old elephant has spent nearly four decades in chains under the Carden family, which drags her from town to town to force her to perform in circuses. Carden Circus needs to free her to a reputable sanctuary before it's too late and she potentially suffers from a fatal collapse.For more information about Betty please visit: https://www.peta.org/news/elephant-at-risk-of-fatal-collapse
WHEN: Monday, November 24, 2025, 5:00PM - 7:00PM
WHERE: Kenneth E. Cowan Civic Center, 500 E Elm St, Lebanon, MO (please see this map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vwjKqHtBszGcdzio7)
CONTACT: Amanda Brody at [email protected]
We have a required dress code! Please dress sharply in a PETA T-shirt (we will provide one if you don't already own one), nice pants, and close-toed shoes. We must ensure that the focus remains on the animals without any distractions that could shift people’s attention.
All materials, such as posters, will be provided.
Please refrain from bringing dogs, as there might not be a comfortable place for them to lie down during the protest.
I hope to see you there!
