The life of a
wild animal in a circus is anything but fun: they're confined
to cages, denied socialization, and forced to perform
unnatural behaviors for screaming crowds. While many U.S.
states have implemented their own laws to regulate circuses,
it's clear that patchwork system is not enough — it's time to
take this fight to save animals to the federal level. That's why we're urging Congress to
prohibit traveling circuses and exhibitions from keeping wild
animals, such as lions, tigers, and elephants, by passing the
Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act
(TEAPSPA).
Wild animals
have been used in circuses for decades, but that doesn't make
it right. Research shows that circuses can never provide what
these animals need in order to be physically and
psychologically healthy. On top of that, circuses have
resulted in countless serious dangerous incidents, including
the deaths of trainers and even injuries to members of the
public. Wild animals shouldn't still be
suffering in circuses. Sign the petition to tell members of
Congress they must ban circuses from using wild
animals!
Thank you,

P.S. Torturing
wild animals should never be considered a form of
entertainment. It's time to ban their use in circuses
throughout the United States. |
