Circus Cruelty

Animal use in circuses, one of the many forms of entertainment practicing animal abuse.
Many people go to animals based circuses each year, not really understanding much about how the animals are trained, or how circus life is for them. The circus business is a harsh one for animals. Training involves many harsh techniques including, electrical shocks, whipping, beating, slashing with bull hooks and starving animals that do not perform well. The concept behind training is fear so the human will be the "master." Are humans not talented enough to be deemed entertaining?

Circuses are also known for their breeding of hybrid animals and rare coloration animals. These include, ligers, tigons, white tigers, golden tabbies, among others. As many of you know from our other videos, this is also very cruel.

Surveys have shown that 70% of people actually prefer circuses with only human performers. But, human performers are more expensive than animal performers and circuses taking part in this cruelty, really only care about money.

Please share this video with your friends so others will learn of this!

Thank you.
