Animals in circuses often suffer stress, neglect, isolation and possibly deliberate abuse. In response to these conditions, circus animals may attempt to escape or retaliate against their handlers. Many documented injuries, traumas and deaths, both human and animal, have been brought about by stressed and abused circus animals. These tragedies are unnecessary and should be eliminated in an educated society.
Animal-free circuses eliminate the possibility of injury or death caused by wild animals. There are many entertaining, intelligent and safe alternatives to the abusive and dangerous form of entertainment that traditional animal circuses present.
As the public becomes more informed about the negative side of traditional animal circuses, many clubs, organizations, charities, and schools are choosing to sponsor cruelty-free entertainment for their events. Please join these groups in supporting safe, humane, and responsible animal-free events.
