Animal Advocates of Western New York presents the critically acclaimed documentary film,
"The Elephant in the Living Room" - June 24, 2012, at Dipson's Market Arcade, from 2 - 5 pm.

Film Description: "Set against the backdrop of a heated national debate, director Michael Webber takes viewers on a journey deep inside the controversial American subculture of raising the most dangerous animals in the world as common household pets. This groundbreaking film chronicles the extraordinary lives of two men at the heart of the issue - Tim Harrison, an Ohio police officer whose friend was killed by an exotic pet; and Terry Brumfield, a big-hearted man who struggles to raise two African lions that he loves like his own family. In the first of many unexpected twists, the lives of these two men collide when Terry's male lion escapes its pen and is found attacking cars on a nearby highway." -- (C) Nightfly Entertainment

In the wake of the Zanesville, Ohio tragedy, Animal Advocates of WNY wishes to bring the discussion of exotic pet ownership to the Western New York audience. This event will include a screening of the film, well as a discussion and Q&A session with our special guest speaker(s) (TBA).

Please spread the word about this important event. We will announce further information regarding ticket sales and guest speakers over the next couple of weeks.
