Animals need to be in their natural wild habitat and not forced by any human to do tricks and be kept in cages. Get rid of all circusses around the world.

Im a South African and have never agreed with these animals being in a circus, they should be on farm etc where they have space in nature to run and explore. If you want to see them take a game drive and see them in THEIR natural habits 😡😡

It’s animal cruelty and animals in a circus is outdated now all over the world. To still have a circus I’m South Africa when we are having a global crisis and still using animals to profit from is shameful and disgusting. Close down and leave the animals to have some form of a happy life and some dignity !

To keep these animals in cages for people's entertainment, is a form of animal cruelty and it should be stopped.

Animals are not meant to be enslaved.

(Centurion, 2020-01-12)

#6247

I'm signing because animals don't have a voice to stand up for themselves. They deserve to be out in the wild where they're meant to be. If you want to see animals, it should be at a game reserve or o the internet, but never in a cage or in a performance

(Port Elizabeth, 2020-01-12)

Animals should be free! Not being taught stupid trick to entertain stupid people (for money!!!!). It is outright cruel to keep them caged and beaten into submission!

I believe that animals should never be kept in captivity - not for any reason and especially not for the entertainment of humans. No zoos, no circuses, only conservation.

(Cape Town, 2020-01-12)

Animals deserve so much better than this! It’s disgusting that these people think they have the right to exploit these babies and run their lives on their own cruel terms

(Benoni, 2020-01-13)

To stop the act of live circuses that involve animals. We should start teaching children that animals are meant and are born to be free, not being taught tricks in captivity for our entertainment.

(Durban, 2020-01-13)

Not only does this excuse for a human feel his actions are alright, but he is also extremely racist towards people, hurling racial slurs in fb comments.

Animals should not be used for entertainment or mistreated. They have a soul bigger than that of a human being!

(Chester, 2020-01-13)

#6325

Animals especially wild animals do not belong in circuses - it is cruelty no matter how "well looked after" they are!!

(White River, 2020-01-13)

#6328

I do NOT believe in animal abuse, or using animals for human entertainment!

They're in my town, Centurion and I cannot believe that they are still allowed to be here!

(Centurion, Pretoria, 2020-01-13)

#6329

All animals deserve to be respected and to be free to live in the wild instead of cages for peoples entertainment.

(Deventer, 2020-01-13)

Animal cruelty should stop immediately and punished harshly

#6342

I do not support animal cruelty

(Utrecht, 2020-01-13)

#6343

I cannot tolerate animal abuse and they have no right to use animals for monetary gains. Animals were not meant to be caged and trained like puppets. It’s cruel and should be illegal.

(Johannesburg, 2020-01-13)

#6344

This is a terrible way to treat animals 😡

(Radium, 2020-01-13)

#6345

We believe animals have rights too, and shouldn’t be used for human entertainment and money and should be left in their natural habitat.

(Auckland, 2020-01-13)

#6347

Animals should be saved and protected of such human mentalities for the entertainment of others

(Durban, 2020-01-13)

#6348

These animals should be released to an animal sanctuary such as FourPaws. Using animals in circuses or any form of human entertainment is cruel, unhealthy and unnatural. Be a better human, be an example to the industry and change this to a victory for animal rights and conservation!

(Pretoria, 2020-01-14)

#6350

I disagree with what is happening in regards to this issue and I want to lend my support/name in the hopes of getting a change for the better started.

(Calgary, 2020-01-14)

#6351

I am against animal abuse in all forms. Animals should not be forced into any unnatural situations for the pleasure of humans.

(Benoni, 2020-01-14)

#6357

I’m signing because animals do not deserve to be treated as toys or objects. Animals have a deep capacity for love, feeling and family and should be treated as equals

(Cape Town, 2020-01-14)

#6362

Animals don’t belong in a circus!!! Extremely cruel

(Johanneaburg, 2020-01-14)

It is nothing more than a show of slavery, vile in it's ignorance.

(DARVEL, 2020-01-14)

#6370

I feel NO animal should be treated or used to make money!! They are living in horrible conditions and they deserve to be where they should be -in the wild!!!! They do not have a voive of their own and that does not give humans a reason to exploit them to make a profit.

(Jhb, 2020-01-14)

#6373

I believe circuses are cruel. I've seen how they treat their animals (in Hermanus) over many years and how they keep their animals in tiny cages/ "roaming areas". It's not a life that any being should live!!

(Stellenbosch, 2020-01-14)

#6376

I don’t believe that any animal should be tortured by basing in a circus- that is not where they are supposed to be!

(Ballito, 2020-01-14)

#6379

That is animal cruelty and it must end now!!!

(Johannesburg, 2020-01-14)

#6384

Circuses are incredibly cruel. These animals need to be released into the wild. No animals should be in cages and be tortured. Ban all circuses with animals! Use lights and lasers!

(Johannesburg, 2020-01-14)
