Again the annual circus has arrived in our town - Hermanus, South Africa and again they will be parading their animals. This time they have brought 2 lion cubs along amongst other animals. The community thought that headway had been made last year when children gathered in their animal onesies protesting the presence of the circus. Not only was this ignored by the circus but apparently by our municipality too. It has been reported that the animals are in good health and this has been deemed as an acceptable reason to continue this barbaric practise of keeping animals in cages for the entertainment of humans. Please sign and help us to keep animals out of circuses. Previous generations were wrong in their thinking, we know better now so let's make the change and do the right thing.
Signing this petition is only a small step but it leads to a shift in thinking, and that slowly leads to a collective voice which gets louder and louder until it's heard.

I have been reading your messages about the lions and it feels like the community is waking up to this reality at last. I never thought so many people would join me in questioning why this is still allowed here. This momentum belongs entirely to you and your refusal to look away.

Please ban wild animals in circusses. You can have a great entertaining show without them and more people will attend.
100% behind those against circuses using animals for entertainment! How would humans feel if we put them in cages involuntarily and make them do tricks
Please do not allow a circus with eild performing animals to visit our beautiful voastal conservation town. These magnificent beauties do not belong in cages!
The largest and oldest circus in the world has recently announced that it is closing due to a shift in public preferences. And the world over, circuses are being banned by local councils and even countries. This archaic form of cheap entertainment at the expense of sentient being who have no choice is being rejected by consciously aware humans around the globe. It is high time that South African woke up and evolved. The time to BAN this inherently cruel industry is NOW! Be their voice and join the campaign to end this cruelty forever.
NO animals belong in the circus. Animals were declared sentient beings by the Constitutional Court, meaning they have RIGHTS. Say NO to animals in circuses!!
GOD-willing, very soon the very best and enforceable animal welfare laws and regulations shall become prevalent throughout the world. May GOD-ALMIGHTY save animals from the horrors of human induced abuse, cruelty, torture, and unjustifiable neglect, and habitat destruction.
Empty the cages and give them their freedom!
