This is horrible. I didn't even think of the animals and how they are treated until I went to the circus last week. I got handed a flyer from 2 ladies before entering and made the experience terrible. I didn't enjoy it at all. I think there needs to be more out there to help people realise what they are supporting when they go to the circus. It is horrible that the animals' whole life is traveling around to entertain people for 10 mins per show. Made me feel sick.

Animals being used in Circuses is well outdated. The way the animals are treated is inhumane and totally unacceptable. Say NO to Animals in Circuses. Imagine if you should be living in the wild, free to roam where you want, free to eat what you want, free to be happy. Yet you were chained up or shut in a cage, only to be let out for training and preforming, which of course includes brutal beatings. How else do you think an Elephant learns to do tricks? Just think about it. Say NO to Animals in Circuses!!

Animals kept in a circuses should be illegal! Circus animals are condemned to live a life of abject misery. They spend their lives in confined spaces which they are unable to cope with, and so suffer greatly. Many animals are also subjected to violence at the hands of their trainers. Making animals perform is not entertainment, it's quite simply cruel exploitation. It's time for a worldwide ban on the use of wild and domestic animals in circuses!

Nowadays circuses have usually no money.
I'm not willing to accept them having animals in dirty cages with not enough to eat and wounds from bad threatening through circus"dompteurs"or other circus people,whose only reason to have animals in their circusis: Walk through the streets and ask the people for donations for the"Poor animals"!If they can't feed them,they shouldn't be allowed to have e them!Most of the circus animals are in a very bad manner and just used for getting any donations or a place to stay in wintertime.

Animals rely on us, as human beings to take care of them. They feel pain just like we do. Would you allow enslaving of children for entertainment? Probably not. Just because an animal doesn't have a voice doesn't mean it deserves less respect. Please open your eyes and see the pain and suffering that you are allowing. You have the power to end this. Look into the eyes of an animal. They are mirrors to their soul just like ours. Please help to stop this suffering.

I am 100% completely against ALL use of ANY animals, wild or tame, in circuses! My take on things is: what you've done to animals/people should be done to you and I support that 150%!

This is wrong. Elephants and other animals are being beaten everyday, for our entertainment. For one, ANIMALS ARE NOT HERE TO ENTERTAIN US HUMANS. They are beautiful creatures and it is horrific that they are being chained up and beaten daily so we can watch them stand up on their back legs. I want everyone to realize you're paying them to do this when you buy tickets to their shows. Tell your children what really goes on at the circus, tell your friends too. Let's get the message out there that this is wrong what is happening to these animals, and if no one will stand up and say it I will.

The suffering of majestic and intelligent creatures must end. What will it take to make people realize the torture they support when they purchase even one circus ticket?

I am absolutely disgusted with the way animals are treated in circuses, or in any way, fashion or form treated for human entertainment and for profit! It is highly unacceptable and it should be stopped. They should be out in the wild free to determine their OWN destiny.

Animal acts are not entertaining; rather, they are archaic and cruel, and do nothing to further the public's education about wildlife. We have come past the point of seeing animals as pawns to do our bidding--let the three-ring circus die off.

Animals used in archaic travelling circuses should be a thing of the past. They should be placed into foster care with caretakers that know how to care and treat animals 'MEANT FOR THE WILD'!

Using animals for entertainment is horrific. Circuses that support the use of animals in their shows should be banned and their organisers taking to prison to see how they like a life behind bars!

I have been fighting for along time to try and get animals out of the circuses.
I love animals and I hate to see them suffer. It hurts my heart.

Animals have as much right to live in their natural environments and to behave in natural ways as we do. It is immoral to abuse animals for cheap profit- circuses with animals, along with other forms of abuse in the farming and fashion industries, should have no place in the world.

We have no right to treat animals other than we want to be treated ourselves! All living creatures feel pain and anxiety, just like we do. We're all connected...

I thought this type of cruelty would have been left in the last century, but a decade into this one it's still happening all over the world.
Do not go to circuses that use animals!

The firs step is, don't bring your kids to the circus and explain to them why.
STOP ASSISTING THE CIRCUSES!

Animals in a circus are plain horrible! They do not deserve the treatment and abuse they get. They are not meant for human entertainment. These are beautiful beasts that deserve to live amongst their own in the wild. Circus PEOPLE are low life scums! They should be treated like that. I never fault a circus animal for killing its trainer. They should be killed for hurting and abusing these wonderful animals.

Animals are helpless, even the dangerous ones.
Seeing these videos makes me want to show those people what it feels like to be as helpless as the animals. Stop the madness.

I think it is disgusting that things like this still go on! These animals do not deserve to be treated badly: all animals should be treated well. It sickens me to think that this happens and absolutely breaks my heart!
