ok, ok, i won't take credit for it, but...

woot! awesome news for all who care about animals!

Credit-card giant MasterCard has ended its highly controversial sponsorship of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The decision was made after PETA sent MasterCard’s president and board of directors undercover video footage of standard circus-industry training practices, showing screaming, terrified elephants being viciously attacked with sharp metal bullhooks and electric prods during behind-the-scenes circus training sessions.

how wonderful to see that large corporations DO give a flying boff sometimes!

That's funny, cause that's how Mastercard comes at me when I'm late with a payment.

Wouldn't that have been funny if the ads on this thread were for the Ringling Bros Circus?
