PETA protested over alleged circus cruelty at the Texas Rose Festival.

The activists disrupted the parade at the intersection of Fair Park Drive and W. Front Street on October 19. They targeted the Sharon Shriners for their alleged involvement with animal circuses.

Protesters displayed a banner saying: 'Sharon Shriners: There's Nothing Rosy About Abusive Animal Circuses!'

The demonstration was a call for Sharon Shrine Circus to cease using animals in performances, such as elephants.

Tracy Reiman, PETA Executive Vice President, said: 'Wild animals deserve to enjoy free, rich lives, not to be chained, beaten, and forced to perform stupid tricks at the Shriners' bidding.'

Reiman urged the Sharon Shrine to follow the lead of other Shriners, such as Hadi, Moolah, and Yaarab, who had already abandoned animal acts.

PETA, known for its advocacy against animal cruelty, continues to push for stricter enforcement of animal welfare laws and the elimination of animal testing.
