I'm signing because I'm against using animals for entertainment, keeping them captive in small enclosures that is nothing like their natural habitat. Humans have enough tricks up their sleeves to make circus acts entertaining without the need to put animals through training that, in my opinion, will always be abusive no matter what method of training you use.

#2496

I'm signing because these animals will be better looked after in a sanctuary or just anywhere where they can experience some form of freedom in the wild, not in a cage! It's cruel to keep them in cages and whip them into obedience.

(Paarl, 2019-11-19)

#2568

Animals used for commercial use are not treated as living beings but as a liability or an asset for monetary gain.
That is not respect. That is abuse

(sandton, 2019-11-19)

#2573

It's animal cruelty to have them kept in captivity and trained by means of intimidation and painful cues.

(Krugersdorp, 2019-11-19)

#2599

There is no evidence that these animals will ever be rehabilitated into having a normal or healthy life. Training creatures for commercial entertainment at the loss of their own bodily autonomy and general wellbeing is not only morally and ethically wrong - it is a prime example of human cruelty and I refuse to support it

(Pietermaritzburg, 2019-11-19)
