Heck No! We Won't Go

We,the undersigned,oppose attending to animal circuses (or zoos or any other place that exploits or harms animals for any purpose).We will not participate in these cruel forms of entertainment, nor will we tolerate any schools endorsement of them, because we know the following about circuses:
%u2022Bears don%u2019t naturally ride bicycles, tigers don%u2019t jump through fiery hoops,and elephants don%u2019t stand upright on their hind legs.
Someone has to crack a whip to force them to%u2014yikes!
%u2022Animals used in circuses live a dismal life of being yelled at,hit,and cooped up in cages.
%u2022Most elephants used by circuses were stolen from their families in the wild.
%u2022Elephants often suffer crippling injuries from being chained all the time and from doing tricks that are dangerous! We will go to a progressive circus that dazzles the audience with acrobatics and other human tricks and leaves the animals out of it.
