Animal rights activists protested the Zor Shrine Circus taking place at the 
Alliant Energy Center Saturday and Sunday, saying the producers of the show 
failed to take proper care of the animals. 
The Madison Coalition for Animal Rights demonstrated outside of the Alliant 
Energy Center, handing out literature listing past alleged offenses of the 
Shrine Circus family. 
Alex Means, a UW student and MCAR member, said he talked to patrons before 
the circus and explained the group's reasoning for boycotting the event. 
"There are minimal standards that the Shrine circus has not met," Means said, 
saying he believes things like clean water and proper food are common things 
animals deserve. 
Liza Hirsch, a fellow MCAR member, said in a press release that not only the 
animals are treated poorly at these events.
