Amanda O.
Australia (WA)

I can't believe people find anything entertaining about seeing an animal doing unnatural behaviors and know how that animal came to be in this terrible industry is shameful, thank goodness i have not seen a circus like this in Australia since i was a small child, think of the animals before you buy a ticket for the entertainment involving animals no matter where you are in the world, including photos with animals in tourists spots and animal rides, this can only stop once there in no markets for these type of barbaric entertainment.
Lara e.

Watching others suffer is no way of entertainment!
Liane P.

Why are we letting animals be abused just for human entertainment? Isn't it more rewarding to see them in their natural habitats being animals instead of being forced to be puppets just for a laugh???

Would you lock your members of your family in small, dirty, enclosures just so they can be let out to perform unnatural tricks under the direction of a whip? NO WAY! So why take animals away from their families to do just that?!
Nikki J.
Australia (NSW)

Animals should not be used in circuses they are not here for our entertainment!

Animal circus practices are unnecessary and cruel, they should be in their natural state, now a lot of people are becoming aware of this matter and are not wanting to contribute their money to support this cruelty. please consider circuses like cirque du soleil, they are an evolved successful circus group which everyone is adequately entertained by without the use of animals.

Natasha W.

Animals are not on this earth for our entertainment, we need to teach this to our children and show them that it is not ok to cart them around the world in cages, dress them up in ridicules outfits and teach them tricks so we can have an hour's entertainment, remember, it is an hour for you but sometimes an entire lifetime for the animal performers.
Jennifer H.

Tracey N.

In this day and age people should know better and this should be illegal no matter how the animals come about being in the care of any circus. Children may love the circus, but if they knew the truth about things they'd never want to go and i explained the truth to my son when he was young and wanted to go and then not only no longer wanted to go to see the show, he wanted to go and save the animals!

Animal rights have come a long way in the last 100 years, how on earth anyone can pay to see wild animals subjected to a life of hell is unbelievable! Circuses with animals are far outdated and should have been long gone years ago
Ashlea R.

'Just an animal' is not an excuse... it should be the reason we DON'T do it.
Kerry C.
Australia (Vic)

There is no excuse for animals suffering for entertainment - none at all. They belong in the wild; proud and exotic animals should not be humiliated so that humans can laugh at their expense. All performing animals should be able to retire to a sanctuary and live out the rest of their days in peace.

Animals were and are not meant for our entertainment. cruel measures by trainers are taken to break down these animals into submission. Animals are living creatures - what right does anyone have to brutally hurt and kill, torture these beautiful beings. Circus staff are a bunch of sickos....love to whip, beat and torture them. Save our animals - they didn't ask for this.

Acho um completo absurdo essa vida desumana que eles levam fora de seus habitats naturais. O mais preocupante é que alguns "humanos" entendem que mudando seus hábitos, suas formas de caminhar, de sentar, de abanar os rabos, de balançar as trombas, num condicionamento frenético para disparar as caixas registradoras, em nada os prejudica e vão atrás de mais e mais novidades que possam garantir o funcionamento do circo, gerando riquezas para os seus donos, por muitos e muitos anos.
