Stop Circus Animal Abuse!
Animals are meant to live free and not used as entertainment. Yet animals all around the world are being used as entertainment and have to travel around the country in overcrowded cages, boxcars, or semi-truck trailers. While traveling in harsh conditions circus animal's health is not properly cared for causing them to develop health effects over the years which can lead to death. Animals are forced to perform silly tricks under the threat of physical punishment. Many people are unaware that animals do not perform circus tricks voluntarily; they perform because they are frightened of being physically abused. This issue is important because many animals are dying from these harsh conditions they have to live in, when really animals should be living free in the wild. There are other options we can seek for entertainment like animal-free circus shows that are just as or even more entertaining. Animals are seen as circus entertainment but many people are unaware of their poor living conditions, dangerous health risks, and the physical abuse they go through while trained.
