Help me Help Them! Boycott Ringling Bros. Circus!
Target:
Governor Arnold S.
Sponsored by:
Animals in the circus do not perform because they want to, they perform because they have to. If they don't , they are beaten, shocked, and whipped to make them perform over and over again. Not only is this way of "training" animal abuse to the fullest, it is a danger for children and adults. I will fight for the rights of these animals until they are all free of circus performances.
There are documented cases of both children and adults injured because of a "angry" animals. Diseases like teberculosis and salmonella are also concerning factors. There are circuses out there that don't have animal acts and are very successful, even more enjoyable. Please join me in educating your friends and family. Thank you for your time.

As a human being and as a mother, I find it very heartbreaking the fact that the Ringling Bros circus separates and torture young elephants for the sake of entertainment. One of the tactics that the Ringling Bros circuses use to “train “these elephants are to separate young elephants from their mothers while they are still nursing. Then these frightened elephants are cruelly roped around their four legs and beaten with sharp, metal-tipped bull hooks in the most sensitive parts of their bodies so they can learn “circus tricks”. Animals in circuses live in constant confinement and are forced to perform under the threat of punishment. There are numerous animal-free circuses, like Cirque du Soleil, that dazzle audiences with their intricate, athletic, human-only performances. I humbly ask you to put yourselves in these elephant’s shoes for a moment and try to feel to pain and suffering that these animals have to endure during these training sessions. Please stop using elephants and other animals in such cruel and vicious ways by not supporting or attending the Ringling Bros circus. I know that the main purpose of these circuses is to make a profit but, remember that the bad we do to others, even if they are not human, will return to us. No money in the world can buy a clean conscience. Sincerely, Nanette Seann

This type of entertainment does not belong in the 21st century. I will NEVER support circuses with animals.

Do the right thing! Boycott the circus! Animals are abused and tortured for "amusement". Disgusting, I would never go nor take my children to see this disgusting spectacle.

The days of exotic animals having to perform in a circus should be long gone in North America. We have advanced in so many areas of animal welfare but still remain in the dark ages regarding "circus acts" to create the almighty dollar for a relative few. Very discouraging that the use and abuse of animals in this fashion has not been outlawed. Our governments still remain lax and indifferent to the suffering of animals handled and housed to this purpose. This petition and the absense of myself and other animal lovers from this outrageous display of forcibly trained and confined animals will eventually put you out of business. Do not underestimate our power and determination.

This is so very disturbing!!! In todays world where we fight so hard for animals rights, how can we still allow such cruelty to happen to them before our very eyes?!!! Please put an end to animals in the circus... let the people perform if they wish but leave the animals out of it and in the wild where they belong. |

These animals do tricks out of fear of punishment, not because they find any joy in entertaining people.
