Everyday of their lives circus animals are abused, mistreated and injured and for what? So people can make money off of their hard work? Their lives are lonely, sad and shortened due to the lack of care, space and freedom. They never ASKED to be circus performers. They just want to be free and enjoy the life that God gave them. Each time you read of an animal being hurt, or killed due to them fighting back for their freedom and do nothing, if you get a sick feeling now is the time to take action! Together we can help free these poor creatures, together we can make a difference in their lives. Together we can end this abuse. If we start a grass roots caring movement we can help change this atrocity. We can organize and put these animals on refuges, people can pay to visit these sanctuaries and the proceeds can go to feed and care for the animals and give them the lives they deserve. We have nothing against the circus, the human performers WANT to be there. We just want to free the animals from the slavery that they have to endure each day of their lonely pain filled lives. Here are just a few examples, the information is OUT there, we CAN stop this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2H8n60p9RI http://www.idausa.org/facts/circusfacts.html http://www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com/ClorisLeachmanPSA.asp http://animalrights.about.com/od/animalsinentertainment/a/JaynesElephant4.htm http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/10/circus-elephant-owners-charged-suffering http://www.looktothestars.org/news/6664-sarah-silverman-thinks-circus-elephants-are-no-laughing-matter http://www.globalanimal.org/2011/04/18/barnums-circus-elephants-neglect-torture-take-action/37136/ http://www.squidoo.com/circus-elephants-abuse I found the above links in one single search the information is so terribly sad and limitless. Help us to get the movement started with enough caring people we CAN and WILL make a difference! Please sign the petition and help!
