Jillian Michaels To Lead Protest For Circus Elephants

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 11:30:00 +0000

To call attention to the plight of circus elephants, exercise guru Jillian Michaels will join throngs of PETA members outside the Staples Center to demand that Ringling abide by Los Angeles laws forbidding sick animals from working and that the circus free the elephants from their dismal lives in chains and boxcars.

Because they get almost no exercise, PETA says numerous elephants used by Ringling Bros. suffer crippling arthritis — a leading cause of euthanasia for captive elephants.

The Ringling troupe opening in Los Angeles on July 20 has been besieged by controversy that revolves around critical reports from elephant experts and a citation from the federal government that the circus is in violation of the Animal Welfare Act.

Run through your top 10 favorite films from the 1980’s, and chances are that Corey Feldman will feature in at least one of them. From The Goonies to Gremlins to Stand By Me to The Lost Boys to Friday the 13th:The Final Chapter, his is a face a whole generation grew up recognizing.

Recent viewers may recognize Feldman from The Two Coreys, a reality show on the A&E Network that also starred Corey Haim. Since the late 90’s, he has also been enjoying success with his band, the Truth Movement, but it is charity work that keeps the actor and musician occupied for much of his time. With interests in animal welfare, environmental issues and several other causes, Feldman was awarded the Paws of Fame Award by the Wildlife Way Station.

Look To The Stars’ reporter Brandy Reynolds was lucky enough to catch up with Corey recently to chat about his work towards making the world a better place.
