I’m signing because I am against the ill treatment of these beautiful animals.

They should roam free and not wait to die in a cage!

Using animals in a circus is totally unacceptable. They were not bred for that and suffer severe trauma and pain living under those conditions. Totally inhumane

No decent human being forced animals to do tricks for entertainment. It’s archaic and backward.

There is no need to have wild animals or any animals for that matter perform for humans. It's archaic and cruel. People don't want to see this cruelty in this day and age.

Wild animals should not be used for entertainment and kept under such horrible conditions.

(Benoni, 2019-11-18)

#1533

I'm signing because I've seen the enclosures of these animals first hand when I protested outside their circus when they came to my area. They lions had barely enough room to pace up and down once or twice. I don't care how much they claim to stimulate and care for their animals! No animal should be traveling in small enclosures, contained in small enclosures or used for the entertainment of humans. This is a barbaric and archaic way of running a circus and it makes me sick to my stomach!

(Cape Town, 2019-11-18)

#1534

It's inhumane to have wild animals in enclosures. It's nonsense to say they are looking after them because they are suppose to be free. It's only about having power over them.

(Pretoria, 2019-11-18)

Please close them down or force them to stop using animals in their circus. It is completely inhumane to keep these animals in these conditions.
