You make a difference. KINK FM and Nordstrom end Ringling Bro's Promos
author: p=roxy

NW In Defense of Animals News, Updates and Action Alerts: YOUR CALLS AND E-MAILS MADE A DIFFERENCE! After receiving numerous calls from all of you, KINK FM 102 and Nordstrom ended their Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus promotion yesterday and have stopped all Ringling radio spots! KINK also removed all links pertaining to the circus from their website.
Nordstrom will still have their Saturday event but will not keep the circus theme. Their downtown store manager, Kierston Kays, assured me they will not post Ringling signs, nor will they hand out the toys and cups provided them by Ringling. They will only hand out the free tickets to customers who specifically ask for them but will not openly hand them out as previously planned.


We want you to know that your phone calls and e-mails made a huge difference, and you have been an effective voice for the animals! After viewing video footage yesterday of circus cruelty and seeing elephants being beaten with bullhooks, I feel more determined than ever to spread the word about the animal abuse that goes on under the big top.


MORE CALLS NEEDED TO OMSI AND UPN 49!


We just found out that OMSI, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, is also partnering with the circus so we need to start calling and e-mailing them.


Following is the information on OMSI's web site:


Science in the Circus
Saturday, September 11, 2004
Explore the science and physics of circus skills, as demonstrated by guest clowns from Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus. Demonstrations may include juggling, unicycling, stilt walking, and more. Be astounded by these skillful performers from The Greatest Show on Earth®! Shows take place at 12pm and 3pm in the OMSI Auditorium.


Let's do our magic on them now! Here's the contact information:


OMSI
Attention: Sharon Sipprell Marketing Dept.
503-797-4594
1945 SE Water Avenue
Portland, OR 97214


UPN 49 KPDX has not responded to our calls as of yet so keep on calling and writing them too! Here is the contact information again:


UPN 49 KPDX
Attention: Tim Parzybok - Sales Manager
503-906-1249
14975 NW Greenbrier Parkway
Portland, OR 97006


Thank you again and again for all your efforts. This is proof that together we can make a difference. I hope you will continue to speak for the animals.


P.S. If you hear of any other local sponsors or see any ads promoting Ringling please let us know so we can follow through with them as well.
