Woman Exposes Herself To Protest Circus

Circus Denies Mistreating

POSTED: 5:32 pm EDT April 20, 2005

<snip> Brandi Ballad wore shackles and fake scars to depict what she said was reality for circus animals.

What she wasn't wearing was a top to go with her black panties

"I want people to know that every time they buy a ticket to Ringling Brothers, they are paying people to torture and beat animals," Ballad told NBC 10. <snip>

Ballad said they plan to protest outside the circus every day. <snip>

Will the media cover her?

1. Nobody wants to see your boobies, babe.

The thing is, if she had a shirt on we probably wouldn't be talking about her.

But still, I'm so over using one's breasts to further any number of agendas.

Also, I'm curious whether any circus treats their animals humanely? Or is it just sheer nature of the industry that animals are treated this way?

2. 99% of the animals in the circus

Regardless of the circus owner (Ringling, Carson, etc) have been horribly abused to make them perform.

I won't go into the gory details. It's out there if you care to know.

The circus is bullshit. Animal slavery (no offense).
