Circus Cruelty    
Cages

Imagine a zoo where the animals are kept in steel cages small enough to fit on the back of a truck....

Imagine sitting in a steel cage in Summer in Perth, Western Australia (41 Celcius) or Winter in England (0 Celcius)...

Lions, elephants and other wild animals are tethered or caged for the whole of their lives, for up to 23 hours per day, every day!

Training methods for "tricks" they are forced to do in the ring are often cruel, and most tricks are against all the animals natural instincts such as jumping through a ring of fire.

They are transported in tiny cages and in all weather around the country or internationally, spending weeks in the holds of ships sometimes coming from bitter winters into blazing summers.

They suffer miserable lives for the sake of human "entertainment".

"The life of circus animals is hard and demanding. Although some circuses are better than others at caring for their animals, no circus can ever provide an acceptable way of life for an animal " (RSPCA UK)

The Circus has a fabulous line up of human talent. There is no need for the inclusion of animal acts.
