Jiffy Lube
Oil's not the only thing they're changing at L.A. Jiffy Lubes. After learning that Ringling beats and whips animals behind the scenes (among other things), the prez of the chain's SoCal operations has promised us that the Jiffy Lubes in the greater Los Angeles area will no longer give away free Ringling tickets with the purchase of an oil change.

That's one way to stick it to those dip sticks at Ringling!

Great News...Time to go and get the oil changed!

Right on, Jiffy!!!

And thanks for caring about the magnificent Elephants!

Sooner or later, the "freebies" will disappear and the remaining bottom-feeders of society, the ones who wouldn't recognize animal cruelty if they walked right into it and became victims themselves, will stumble one step up and find something else to amuse their pathetic selves and spawn.

I think that its our responsibility as Americans, and humans, to boycott all circuses who exploit animals. Circuses are like battles in the gladiator days. We cannot sit back and enjoy this exploitation at the disadvantage of helpless animals. These are elephants, one of the most majestic creatures on the planet. How did they become the laughing stock at shows? I can honestly say that my children will NEVER go to a circus.

I'm so glad to here that about Jiffy!! Let's all pray that one day these beautiful creatures will never be ripped away from their families again! They are one of the most family oriented animals on earth! They are beautiful and deserve all the love possible.

I completely agree with all of the comments above. I'm sick of people who use the argument of "They're JUST animals. People are more important". We should fight for human AND animal rights, EQUALLY. Everyone deserves a chance at a happy and healthy life.

Excellent choice, Jiffy Lube. I will recommend you to friends and family. :)

Posted by: Laura | August 5, 2009 04:58 PM

Well, as a small thank you, from now on, I'll use Jiffy Lube ONLY for my oil changes! And will spread the word of the good deed you're doing....

The masses are gradually learning that circuses are inhumane, atrocity exhibitions.

Posted by: Brien Comerford | August 5, 2009 06:15 PM

GREEEAT!! Anything helps when it comes to such a huge issue such as this. I think I'm going to do some research to see what other companies give out free tickets and let them know the truth. We have to stop the suffering of these creatures.

Posted by: Lindsey | August 5, 2009 06:55 PM

Go Jiffy!!!

Posted by: Iris Block | August 5, 2009 07:09 PM

Jiffy Lube should give away free tickets or discounts to amusements that do not include animal acts. Some suggestions for Southern California would be Discovery Science Center, Bowers Museum, Los Angeles County Museum Of Art family Sundays, etc.

Thank you Jiffy Lube, you will be getting my business!!

On behalf of the elephants, tigers, lions, monkey, dogs forgive me if i've forgotten any furry friends. I will be leafletting when the circus hits Austin !!!
Thanks for doing the right think Jiffy Lube!

Posted by: Dawn B. Spivey | August 6, 2009 06:54 PM

It says in the article that it is only for the Los Angeles area. That does not mean all Jiffy Lubes will stop giving away tickets. Please read the article more carefully next time.

Posted by: Edward | August 6, 2009 06:56 PM

Thank you, President of Jiffy Lube!! Caring at the corporate level is where it starts, and with a high profile chain such as yours, I believe it really sends a strong message to middle America. Maybe you will inspire other such sponsers to do the same. Kudos!!

Posted by: Shawna LaRee Klema | August 6, 2009 08:53 PM

Thank you Jiffy Lube for doing the right thing.

Posted by: Molly | August 6, 2009 09:10 PM

Thanks Jiffy Lube! Hopefully others will take notice as well and boycott Ringling Bros.

Posted by: Timothy | August 6, 2009 10:08 PM

Thanks Jiffy Lube! You will keep my business!!! I think it's awesome that you will not support this animal abuse.

Posted by: P Bausch | August 6, 2009 10:15 PM

Way to go Jiffy Lube. Lets put that stupid abuse factory called Rigling Bros out of business. Elephants and all the other animals deserve a lot better than to be whipped and beaten by stupidity employed by that circus. They don't care about anything. Glad you do Jiffy Lube

Posted by: Mel | August 6, 2009 11:01 PM

Thank you Jiffy Lube,you will be the only place I get my oil changed at. I will tell everyone I know about your good deed.

Posted by: Rene Lemke | August 6, 2009 11:30 PM

That's so awesome! And ironically a Ringling Brithers commercial just came on.

Posted by: Cassandra | August 6, 2009 11:55 PM

Way to go! I'll be seeing you soon so you can service both of my vehicles.

Thank you!

Posted by: Susan | August 7, 2009 05:42 AM

thank you Jiffy Lube for caring about the elephants

Posted by: Elizabeth Miranda | August 7, 2009 06:37 AM

I'm so glad that people are taking action!
♥ jiffy lube

Posted by: estefania | August 7, 2009 11:05 AM

Thank you sooooo much jiffy lube for giving the animals a voice. These are amazing creatures and need to be treated as such not exploited.
I will only use Jiffy Lube now for all oil changes and will tell everyone I know. Thank you again for a step in the right direction for the elephants.

Posted by: Lisa Wright | August 7, 2009 02:45 PM

Hooray for Jiffy Lube. I wish you tons of new business for your wonderful good deed.

Posted by: Ann | August 7, 2009 03:56 PM

Posted by: Cara | August 7, 2009 06:03 PM

Hey Jiffy,

Great decision. Thank you for helping to
bring this into the public eye. This has been going on forever. It's time.

Posted by: Paige | August 8, 2009 03:19 AM

THANK YOU, Jiffy Lube, for doing the right thing and for listening to the public and your customers.

Now let's all please spread the word about the abuse so ALL companies learn that it is NOT good to promote abuse of any kind.

Posted by: Maria Zoltek | August 8, 2009 12:12 PM

Thank you Jiffy Lube, I will continue to get my Oil Changed there, especially now that I know that you care about those who have no Voice or Choice.

Posted by: Marcia Fuller | August 8, 2009 05:56 PM

Jiffy Lube, you just earned my family's business. Kudos to you for doing the right thing for animals. We must be the voice for those that cannot speak.

Posted by: Susie | August 8, 2009 09:25 PM

!!!!! Yes, and rest assured that what goes around comes around !!! And it will be all good for you guys !!!! I am proud of you and will now use your services.

Posted by: Carina Lobel-West | August 10, 2009 10:59 PM
