how did those two women become this way? so soulless, so dead inside? so unwilling to open their hearts even a little bit to the truth, to compassion? i want to believe there is hope for them...but if there isn't, then the ones who understand the truth need to do everything in our power to create a world where injustices like the circus are no longer legal, so that women like those two blocking the TV would be legally bound to not support the circus.
Bravo, Matt! You were VERY brave in dealing with these redneck circusgoers! They can be some of the worst in behaving badly. Totally ignorant and closed minded.
I LOVE YOU! These people are so ignorant to the cruelty that they are paying for and supporting. If only the kids knew what those animals go threw. GOD BLESS YOU FOR SENDING THE MESSAGE!
Bravo courageous Matt! While it was bad also at times here in Kent and Everett (near Seattle) there was always police nearby and more protesters! Good job against ugly Ringling!
This guy is awesome, he deserves an award!!! We faced anger up here in WA, NOTHING compared to this...and this is Portland...where were the rest of the protesters....
Matt ROCKS! Why was he there alone with only with a videographer tho? We had an assault in Dallas this year, and many jerks like the ones in the video. They DO feel guilty, otherwise they wouldn't get so upset! Circus mentality. What can you say. Keep up the good fight!
Great video. You were really brave in the face of those people bullying you. Never give up. we protested in Dallas and managed to persuade a few people to leave without buying tickets. Made it all worth it!
The animals can never have too much support. Trust me. I was there. They could have used more backup. Please come support the animals during the next Ringling or Shrine tour. Ringling seems to come to Portland around September each year. This was my first protest, and I truly felt like I was making a difference. Call for a ban on animal acts in Oregon! Hope to see everyone at the next show!!!
we love you for being there. you did an amazing job with all those people in denial about the truth. those broad women blocking the tv should stop eating meat. sorry to be so mean, but its true.
I see you were harrassed by event staff and Ringling staff, who also attempted to hide your video. Would we expect anything different from people who make money on the suffering of animals? Know this, my friend, you reached people in that line up that day, including children. I speak as one who was reached by a protest 22 years ago at a circus I was passing by in my car. Bravo!
When I was on the bullhorn here in L.A , I would just keep repeating..
"TEACH YOUR CHILDERN COMPASSION, ANIMAL CRUELTY IS NOT A FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT.PLEASE,HAVE A HEART, HAVE SOME COMPASSION"" YOU ARE RELYING ON 17TH CENTURY ENTERTAINMENT IN THE 21 CENTURY".. after the show, ya you get the idiot comments, but some people did come up to me and thanked me for saying those words.
The people who were upset in the above video were because THEY FELY GUILTY !!!
OMG you guys are awesome!!!!!!!!! We protested in Austin, TX and received the same kind of treatment from so many ignorant, disgusting people! You stood your ground and you should be PROUD you spoke up for the voiceless! What other way can they get those majestic, beautiful creatures to do those stupid, f*@&ing tricks? You're amazing!
Thank you Matt for being a classy gentleman in the face of these freaks, or these freaks getting in your face I should say. I vote we put them in cages, take em out once in a while, make them stand on thier head, and beat them with a hook!
go man in the red hat!!
