This has to stop. These beautiful, brilliant creatures deserve so much more than a life of suffering.
This is terrible. By allowing these performances to happen at your venue you are supporting the torture of these beautiful animals
Stop the abuse and torture of the poor creatures that are forced to perform ridiculous tricks for ignorant, stupid people, who should know better!! Now is the time for change, no more circuses!!
It’s barbaric and evil and it has to STOP! Shame on those responsible for this torture. This is OUR planet you are destroying, and it’s high time we fought back.
Most people find this treatment of wild animals as cruel and out of touch with 21st century values. I too find it abhorent. Please stop hosting performances that use wild animals.
Please stop this form of abuse. Elephants are very social. Tied up and not able to move is horrible for any animal. It’s not worth an animal to be abused any reason
Stop this abuse and stop down these cruel barbaric traveling shows immediately !
PLEASE stop the torture of these innocent animals they deserve more they are intelligent living beings and don`t deserve what humans do to them. PLEASE send them to a sanctuary.
This cruelty to these elephants and all the others you severely abuse, needs to end. People don’t want to see animals that they now know are beaten to perform these hideous actions they’re forced to obey out of fear. We will keep fighting to get them to Sanctuaries, like we did for Nosey! We will never stop. You have no soul. You’re all just truly evil.
Please boycott. This is nothing but animal suffering and slavery!
Stop the abuse. Let them free
Animal should not be used for entertainment
Nice website!
Hi this is unacceptable and Florida is better than this! It is 2022 please provide this years schedule so we can make our voices heard for our animals whose voice is being oppressed!
I am in South Africa and I hate with a passion circuses and zoos. I am contacting all of them right now
