11/14/26 - Tell Barak Shrine: End Elephant Rides and Performances

6 hours ago

1 min read

Two elderly elephants, Bunny and Lulu, are being forced to perform at the Barak Shrine Circus in West Monroe, Louisiana, this weekend. Video from the circus shows both elephants performing in the ring, and the ringmaster announces that elephant rides are also being offered.

Barak Shriners have the power to stop this exploitation. CWI is calling on them to end elephant rides and performances immediately and commit to keeping all wild animal acts out of future circuses. Please speak out for Bunny and Lulu and demand the retirement they deserve.

TAKE ACTION NOW FOR BUNNY & LULU!
