Cruelty to bears at Russian ice circus
Target:
Russian Government
Sponsored by:
These pictures show the abuse suffered by bears who are forced to perform at The Russian State Circus Company's touring Bears on Ice show. Their mouths are muzzled so they cannot attack their trainers... a reminder of the cruelty used to teach the animals to do their circus tricks for the entertainment of humans.
Recently one bear could stand the humiliation no longer and attacked his trainers, severely injuring one and killing the other... so he was shot dead by police! This just shows how cruel and unnatural this is to the bears and it must stop now!
Please sign the petition to show the Russian Government that there is no room for such barbaric practices in this modern age.

We the undersigned ask you to ban the barbaric practice of training bears to 'entertain' people at circuses in your country. These wonderful creatures do not belong in a circus. They are wild animals who who should be free to live their lives as they were intended, not abused and humiliated, all in the name of 'fun'.
We implore you to ban this cruel practice immediately and release the bears to sanctuaries, where they can live the rest of their lives in a more natural environment.
Thank you

"Performing animals in circuses? Is this in 2003 or some bygone age? Sadly, it is the former. It is beyond belief that in our so-called enlightened society animals are still incarcerated in cages and travelling wagons, chained, trundled around the country and forced to perform inane tricks in the name of entertainment. Perhaps the bright lights blind the spectators to the truth of what they are watching. India has banned tigers, lions, leopards, bears and monkeys from the circus ring. A wonderful start. Shame on all those circus owners who don't follow their lead. Those of you who have seen the 'Cirque du Soleil' will know what the circus should really be about. Exciting, colourful, fun, dramatic and not an animal in sight."
