Courtney Circus hit again

SEPTEMBER 2006.

To show our support for the SHAC 7 in USA we destroyed over 70 advertising signs for the Courtney Vegas so called 'American' circus from Wexford in Ireland. This circus now in Balgriffin uses animals in its acts and we have vowed to continue removing their advertising until they stop dragging animals around Ireland.

Two MEAT RETAILER directional signs were taken and butchered in retaliation for the dead animals slaughtered for profit and sold in his shop in Dublin.

>>Till all are free...

Will Potter hit the nail on the head when he said he felt like he was "watching history". Criminalised for running a website exposing abuse and corruption...It beggars all belief.

it's kind of funny when the people who write the Irish ALF actions keep boasting of them 'DESTROYING' circus signs. you know people all over the country do this already and even during the day when circuses come to town but they don't go about saying they 'DESTROYED' them - it's kind of funny, please have a think about it.

I have torn off posters from walls and gone into shops asking people to remove them, informing them of the abusive training methods in this circus.

I'm a little insecure about demonstrating as there would only be myself and two others and I've read that they are aggressive.

Anyone to give advice, or even a hand, re what best to do!

Vegas have the worst track record for animal abuse. Just because they don't have animals in their present show doesn't mean they should be supported. They are also responsible for the death of a mother and daughter caused by a beast wagon not being properly connected to the back of one of their trucks. Vegas and Sydney are owned by members of the same family.
