Please don't believe the rumours go and see for yourselves the acts and how the animals are kept and trained. These are not Victorian times, this is now and you will see the love and care and attention to these animals.

It has been proven any animal including humans are happier and healthier when they have a good regime and are in regular work. What that work is has no detrimental affect as long as the animal is not mistreated. Circus animals are not mistreated but treated with care. More often as part of the family and sometimes better. Circus animals have also been an education to millions of children all over the world. That fact can not be neglected.

A vote in favour of banning animal circuses is a vote in favour of ending all positive relationships between humans and animals. Oppose the blatant lies and hysteria of animal rights activists and allow animal circuses to continue to bring joy to children of all ages.

"Feel Good" bans continually fail with drastic results. Animals die. Circus animals are among the healthiest due to constant stimulation both mental and physical. Animals and trainers have close unique bonds. A prime example of what happens with a circus ban, one can look at the case of Mexico and how 80% of all the "retired" circus animals died.. take heed

There is no evidence of animal cruelty in circuses. Interaction between man and animals cannot be avoided and must be viewed positively. Without it, animals would have higher chances of dying out.

There is a difference between animal welfare (which we can all agree is important) and animal "rights" which is increasingly outrageous!

Animals in the circus are loved and well cared for. To take them away from their homes and the people that love them would kill them. Keep these inter species families together.

Laws should never be based on emotions. Laws should however be based on concrete evidence. There is no scientific evidence that proofs that animals can not live happy, meaning full, healthy lives in the circus, or other traveling exhibitions.
(Other than mostly fake animal rights based backyard science.)
Therefore you should not be able push a bill such as the circusanimal-ban through.

This ban must be stopped because there is no evidence of any detriment to animals in circus. They are working animals in the same way as dogs for the blind and deaf.

The negative image portrayed of animals in the circus is totally incorrect. The images projected come from a small band of screwed up minds. The majority of people do not have any issues.

Banning circuses with animals is a step up on the ladder for the animals rights extremist movement. It does not benefit animal welfare to introduce a ban.
