Stop Circus Suffering

Just a few minutes today could end Circus Suffering in the US

THE ANIMALS NEED YOUR VOICE! 

More than 30 years of evidence and scientific studies demonstrate that traveling shows cannot provide for the physical, behavioral and psychological needs of wild animals. Severe confinement in barren conditions, lack of exercise and restriction of natural behaviors, result in animals being prone to health, behavioral, and psychological problems. Welfare is always compromised.

Constant fear, brutal handling, and restriction of movement cause stress to wild animals, making them dangerous. When in close proximity to the public, this creates a serious public safety hazard. Deaths and injuries to animals, trainers, and the public are far too common. 

The Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act (TEAPSPA, HR5999/S3220) seeks to prohibit the use of exotic and wild animals in traveling performances. 50 countries have now banned the use of wild animals in circuses. It’s time the United States caught up.

    Please sign and end the abuse of animals in circuses. It is wrong and supporting these businesses sends the wrong message.
    Time to empty the cages and end their suffering.

    All decent minded people hate the abuse to circus animals – the cruel “training” practices used belong to the past and those responsible belong in prison.
