We need to ban animals in Australian circuses

People are capturing animals from the wild and holding them in captivity. These are wild animals they're bringing into a circus for 'entertainment'.

Firstly, wild animals need to stay wild. That's what they were born to do, you can't just bring them in to a new environment and expect them to adapt. It's unacceptable, they are just taking their rights away, the animal doesn't even have a choice. The humans are doing this to the poor animals and it should stop immediately!!

They don't even have great living conditions or reasonable living conditions. These animals are crammed in small cages and small rooms. They shouldn't be living like this, no animal should be living like this, especially the big wild animals that need to be walking and running around such as tigers, lions, elephants, bears and chimpanzees because they need to be free, not trapped in these small cages.

Also animals are forced to do this, it's not like they want to do this. The performers force them to 'entertain' people and it's bloody stupid. These animals are being chained to things, they are being shocked, being whipped if they don't do what the performers want. People have caught the circus performers kicking and hitting animals in the past. They are forced to jump through rings, but not just any rings, these rings have fire around them, they are clearly putting these poor innocent animals in danger!! They also have druged animals in the past to be 'manageable', they have been removing some of the animals' claws and teeth so they don't attack and so it's easier for the performers to 'control' them. It's horrendous!!

We need to speak up for the animals' rights. They should be free to do what they want and live their lives. These animals have been taken out of their will just to perform for us, people.

We as humans are smarter and we should know better. We should be taking care of animals. Animals are very intelligent and they deserve to be treated much better then this. We can find other ways to entertain people at circuses. We shouldn't have to use animals to 'entertain' others.

We can start to stop the abuse of humans hurting and beating animals physically and emotionally. We need to STOP taking wild animals in captivity, let these animals live freely in the wild with other species. We need to leave these WILD animals alone, they belong in the wild and not entertaining humans.
