After attending the Guilford Fair this year I was absolutely appalled that Guilford allowed the hiring of Master Mason with the Jacob Barreda Elephants. As I stood there I witnessed three elephants performing "circus" acts in the scorching sun with no choice to sit, find shade or water. My heart was completely broken and I had to fight to hold back tears. After about twenty min of forcing these beautiful animals to stand on small steps and shake their heads to "Shake it Off" the "Ring Master" proudly announced that kids would now be able to have a thrilling ride of a life time on top of these poor animals.

I plead with you to sign this petition to stop Guilford from hiring this or any other company that uses ANY exotic animals for entertainment at the fair for years to come!
