A member of Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus rides an elephant in front of the Captiol Hill in Washington, DC, on March 16, 2010 during annual Pachyderm Parade.
The parade is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. but might be delayed or pushed forward, if trains or traffic are uncooperative. The parade will start on Virginia Ave, S.E. and New Jersey Ave. S.E., moving west towards South Capitol Street S.E. then heading north up Washington and Independence Ave S.W. past the National Mall and continuing up 3rd Street N.W. Here’s a map of the route.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are likely to make an apperance. The group has been critical of Ringling Bros. on their ringlingbeasanimals.com site and has protested the DC Pachyderm Parade the last two years over conflict-of-interest rules. According to the Washington Post, PETA claims that Mayor Vince Gray’s office was, “giving the circus special treatment in exchange for reduced-price audience passes that are handed to constituents.”
