Despite all talks and continued efforts to stop the use of animals in circuses and other entertainment venues, the issue continues throughout the United States and Worldwide. Some areas of the country are doing their part in banning animals for these purposes but we want to see this achieved on a national level. You can read more on the compelling and inhumane effects on circus animals at http://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/photo-exposes-what-training-animals-for-the-circus-looks-like/
Animals, wild and tame are not born and bred to be part of the entertainment field and those that are engaged for these purposes are most frequently trained in an abusive manner. People are easily entertained when witnessing the amazing things a cute and mysterious animal can do without realizing what many of those animals endure when being trained for their enjoyment. The reality is that the main goal for any entertainment venue is how much money rolls in rather than considering the health and well-being of these animals.
Our goal and effort in this petition is to urge the government to implement a nationwide ban on the use of animals in circuses and any other entertainment fields. We need to be a voice for all animals used for human enjoyment and ensure that such practices are banned. Treat animals humanely and as they are meant to be.
