Tom Rider

I was honored to know & help Tom be able to spread the truth about the treatment of circus elephants. He educated so many & he cared so deeply about ending this cruelty. RIP, Tom; your voice for the elephants was heard & is making a difference for them.

Thank you Tom for fighting the Good Fight against elephant abuse in the circus. You opened up a lot of eyes and hearts to the suffering that goes on 24/7 to circus elephants. I am glad to have known you! You are now with many of those elephants you knew and loved, and who died needlessly, suffering at the hands of the circus.

The captive circus ellies have you to thank for our continued fight for their freedom. That day is near. You were gone when L.A. passed the Bullhook Ban 10/23, but we will never stop until animal circuses are obsolete. RIP.

Hero to the elephants, inspiration to all.... Rest In Peace Tom
