FYI Westchester Board of Legislators member Damon Maher states he is in the midst of completing anti-circus legislation.
In the meantime please contact Westchester county executive George Latimer and politely ask him to intervene regarding Hanneford bringing wild animals here. As you may recall Mr. Latimer previously stated he would do an 'executive order' stopping animal user circus appearances on county property - then he never followed through.
50 miles away circuses have been banned for two years already.

(Sample letter)**:
Dear _________
I am saddened to learn that, in addition to not being banned as many intelligent venues have done, Hanneford circus is now bringing white tigers to Westchester, though they previously promised to not bring 'wild' animals here. These sad spectacles are cruel to animals and also present a danger to the public as well, with several escaping captivity already.
Thank you in advance for your assistance,
(name)
**if you're a Westchester resident please indicate that - but you do not have to be a resident to make these contacts.
