Oppose Chipperfield Lion and Tiger Show in Penrhyn Bay!

Big cat circus trainer Thomas Chipperfield is to appear in Penrhyn Bay from Thursday 30th July to Sunday 9th August 2015 with his wild animal performance show "An Evening with Lions and Tigers", which is simply a circus by another name.

The lions (Assegai and Tsavo) and tigers (Nadia, Altai and Syas) owned by Mr Chipperfield live in cages on the back of a vehicle known as a beastwagon.

Animal Defenders International (ADI) has documented the Chipperfield big cats exhibiting abnormal repetitive behaviour which indicates how their welfare is being compromised by their inadequate environment. Vet Marc Abraham described it as "a sure sign their welfare is severely compromised".

Such behaviour is not seen in the wild but is commonly seen in animals made to perform.

Making wild animals perform in the name of entertainment provides no educational or conservation value to the audience and sends entirely the wrong message, especially to young people.

If you agree that lions and tigers should not be caged, confined and made to perform, please sign and share our petition today calling on the land owner in Penrhyn Bay not to allow this and other wild animal acts on their land. Thank you.

The other week week, Herefordshire Country Show decided to cancel their planned Chipperfield big cat show after public outcry over the animals' welfare - over 12,000 people signed that petition in four days. If enough people sign this petition, we can show the Penrhyn Bay land owner that the animals deserve better.
