The ringling brothers and barnum and bailey circus has been traveling in the united states ever since 1907 and is still running today! They have taken wild elephants from their homeland in asia and bred them in a special ringling farm in florida that is not open to the public so no one knows the method that is used. They take the babies away from their mothers and beat them and force them to do tricks like lying on stomach, stand on head and balance on one foot. They use long metal rods and electric rods towards the elephants, tigers, and other animals in the show. Many animals have tried to escape and got beaten as a result. One baby elephant drowned and a tiger died form heat, exhaustion and stress. Please sign this petition to help FREE the animals who cannot speak up for themselves and stop the CRUELTY of the ringling bros and barnum and bailey circus that no one knows about.

Please stop this abuse! Leave animals alone, leave them to live in the wild. They are NOT your slaves for entertainment!

The animals that are brutalized, tormented, imprisoned, and forced to perform unnatural, often painful and humiliating acts, were created by GOD and have been granted the inalienable rights to be treated humanely and mercifully. Ringling Bros. Circus has proven time and again, that they violate Animal Welfare Act régulations and laws, thereby inflicting painful suffering upon the animals in their care.

I am so upset with the constant cruelty towards innocent animals. The human race make me sick with their attitude towards animals. I wish the tables were reversed and all the people who treat animals so discompassionately were given the same treatment back.

The suffering animals in this horrible circus were created by GOD. As such, they must be treated humanely and mercifully. Ringling Bros. is known to violate animal`s well-being, and have been outright abusive in the past.
