Animal Activist's Nightmare

Of course the carnival animals put on a big show of smiling for the general public. However,  I was witness to the "behind the scenes" treatment of the animals, and it was not a pleasant. 

Warning: those with weak stomachs should not read any further. Small children may be traumatized by the following scene. . .

I heard muffled cries and whimpers coming from these bags. If carnival personnel hadn't been in the area, I would have rushed forward to free these poor animals. I feared for my own safety, as brazen carnival workers displayed the stuffed bags practically in front of the Sheriff's Office. 

PETA was nowhere in sight, but this photo is evidence of the inhumane treatment of carnival animals. We must put a stop this abuse!
