    Hello again

    Just a small one this time..

    Circus's that use animals for acts..
    The circus is a horrible place for animals, this animal abuse has been going on for as far as people can remember.. These animals are forced into small cages and whipped to do tricks for your children. WHY? these animals belong in the wild not in a small cage being whipped and chained.



    please if you care never go to the circus again, or take your children there. All fun and games until you see behind the scenes.

    Please take a few moments to watch this video..

    thank you for reading and i hope i can change just one persons mind about taking there kid to the next circus.. I also hope everyone can also educate there friends and Family on this inhumane Act thats been going on for TOO LONG.

    I could be wrong but it appears to me that circuses are dying, anyway.

    Not that it's really relevant to your point, but both of my children hated the circus. It scared them. They were 5 years old at the time. That was 15 years ago and they've never forgotten it.

    But regarding the circus dying, I can't remember the last time a circus came anywhere near me.

    i despise the circus.. when i was young i used to love it because i got to see the elephants [obviously my favorite animals] do all those cool tricks and i even got to ride on one.. once i got older and began looking into things like animal right i was horrified at the way these animals got treated and shocked that my family would take me there even though they had no idea of the whole behind the scenes part

    circuses are horrible places to be if you're an animal.. it's unfair that humans treat them that way and they should just be banned for good

    Yes of all the animals i think that they abuse the elephants the most, because the elephants dont do much when they get whipped and hit with a stick, until they freak out and escape and trample people over. Then people dont understand why the elephant did that, well its a wild animal and belongs in the wild.

    My mother and father never ever tool me to the circus, they are the ones that told me from a young age that they are mean to the animals. So i been against them since i was 5 years old.

    thats great, we also protest as well. Its alot harder then any other place, you really need a big group.. The crowds are huge..


    thanks again for everyone's comments.

    hell yeah... i have never been a part of a circus protest.. i'd imagine that by me they would be really difficult since i;m so close to NYC and thats where all the big ones go so getting a group big enough to protest in NY and actually make people care is a big deal.... i believe it can be done though! :)

    It is true that circuses, especially here in the US, are guilty of many inhumanities against the animals in their care. I have always felt especially bad for the elephants, since it is apparent they are in agony.

    They are already small in number and I have a feeling they will be gone one day from their bad karma...
