It&#8217;s not only easy but also effective! Put the right information in the right hands and BAM! Minds are changed. Just check out what one unsuspecting circusgoer had to say when she received a leaflet:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Today, I went to the circus not even thinking of the poor animals \u2026 and I am ashamed I even went. I walked up and received a flier from animal activists and I saw an elephant chained on the front cover and couldn&#8217;t help but read the pamphlet. I am so distraught over the whole thing. I want to know what we need to do to END animals being in the circus. I want those poor elephants, tigers, and many other poor helpless animals to be free!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t that make it seem worthwhile? Follow these helpful tips, and you may be the person who helps change someone&#8217;s mind!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video aligncenter is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-player\"><div class=\"widescreen-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"How to Leaflet in 5 Easy Steps\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IvqU_h4CXvk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don&#8217;t wait for people to approach you.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Walk up to them, and with a friendly smile, hand them a leaflet accompanied by a positive comment like, &#8220;Have you gotten one of these yet?&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Leaflet-602x452.jpg\" alt=\"Leaflet\"\/>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Take off those sunglasses and make eye contact!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Never be pushy.
