THE SADDEST SHOW ON EARTH
THE ARENA IS NO PLACE FOR ANIMALS
ANIMAL

"Also, as one elephant has indeed died this year (as circus media
said) and as another elephant is apparently missing (as the circus
had seven elephants and now appears to have only five, which is
strange, as, to our knowledge, only one elephant has died) and no
one knows what has happened to her, we suspect that something is
indeed happening to the animals at this circus – but of course no
authority cares about that. A lion and a horse of the same circus
have also died over this year, but apparently all these deaths are
still no reason for the authorities to take any kind of action
against the circus."
Elephants, tigers
and other animals in circuses never have a day off.
Their spirits are broken; their lives are spent in demeaning
performances – robbing them of their freedom and dignity.
Animals don’t do headstands or jump through fire because they enjoy
it; they do it because they fear punishment. Circuses with animal
acts are not decent family entertainment.
Baby elephants are removed from their mothers and forced into a
lifetime of performing. As the families of these animals are
broken, so are their spirits. Elephants have their legs chained and
live in cramped quarters 12 months a year.
Let’s stop teaching children that they should applaud animal
slavery, abusive confinement, training, and commercial
exploitation.
Wild animals belong in their homelands, not under the
bright lights of a circus ring.
Please show that you respect
animals –
Boycott the Circus!
