Alex, Carlo, and Sante turn their compassion for suffering circus animals into action by requesting the Whitemarsh Township Board of Supervisors restrict traveling animal circuses from stopping in their community. Wearing their "Lion Ark" buttons with the words "FREEDOM, WILD and PRIDE" the boys had the 25 lions rescued by

Animal Defender International (ADI) with them in spirit,

as they fought for the less fortunate animals still suffering on the road.

Carlo Filippini expressed his concern for the animals' life of confinement and said that he and his classmates "do not want wild animals to be forced to perform tricks for pointless amusement."

Alex Johnson explained their efforts to raise awareness about circus animal suffering and how in just four hours they were able to collecting over 100 signatures in support of a local ban.

Sante Filippini shared their ideas for alternative family entertainment, suggesting that LuLu Temple would possibly make more money if they created an outdoor moive theater on their property instead of hosting a circus every year.
