Absolutely DESPICABLE. Holding animals prisoner for financial gain. Close them down.

(Olifantshoek, 2019-11-18)

It is our responsibility to speak up for those who can't.

(Somerset West, 2019-11-18)

It's animal cruelty, disgusting money making scheme that prays on innocent animals.

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#815

This is cruilty to animals, for what, human intertainment, they don't deserve this, not one single one

(Pretoria, 2019-11-18)

It's unacceptable to still be using animals in circuses.

(Potchefstroom, 2019-11-18)

#821

Circuses featuring live animals are cruel and belong in the dark ages. Society has evolved and there's no longer a place for circuses with animals

(Fourways, 2019-11-18)

#824

I cannot condone cruelty to animals

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#830

I'm signing this petition because using these animals in a Circus I see as abuse

(Randburg, 2019-11-18)

#832

Really, enough is enough. What are we teaching our kids about the way to treat others other than ourselves?

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#835

Wild animals should not be in circuses!!!!!

(Cape Town, 2019-11-18)

#836

It is so cruel to keep these gorgeous animals captive in such tiny spaces, they deserve better .

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#839

Animals are not property, and they should not be subjected to unnatural lifestyles for human entertainment.

(Edenvale, 2019-11-18)

#840

Because a circus is the epitome of animal abuse

(Cape Town, 2019-11-18)

#842

Please shut down this circus. When confronted about the treatment of their animals, the owners get extremely aggressive which calls into questions their behaviour towards the animals behind the scenes.

(Cape Town, 2019-11-18)

#844

Because animals do not belong in a circus!

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

(Caledon, 2019-11-18)

Use of animals, non humaine

(Edenvale, 2019-11-18)

#854

Circuses are just a place for animal abuse and selfish people

(Pietermaritzburg, 2019-11-18)

#855

Animal circuses have no educational value whatsoever. Captive animals, bred and exploited for entertainment, do not display any of the natural behaviour - how can they when they are trained (with whips) and dominated to be submissive captive performers. In addition to this, the audience sees these animals for 60 - 90 minutes, under the big top, bright lights and with cheerful music. After the show, the animals return to their tiny cages, or are loaded up into steel trailers and dragged around the country to the next performance. We are BEHIND the civilised and informed world, South Africa. Animal circuses are being banned in many different countries, cities and municipalities. For once, let's be on the RIGHT side of history?

Animals in the circus is abhorrent

(Sandton, 2019-11-18)

#864

I'm signing because McLaren Circus exploits animals and puts them in cages after they are done. How dare they? This is blatant animal cruelty.

(Pietermaritzburg, 2019-11-18)

#872

These Animals should be set free, to live in large spaces and not in cages.

(Boksburg, 2019-11-18)

#873

From reports we see that these animals are kept in surroundings that are not conducive to their comfort and they should not be exploited for human entertainment. It's a cruel and miserable life.

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#878

I'm signing because I am strongly against any animals being used and abused for entertainment.

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#879

Circuses are outdated and these animals are not put on this earth to forcefully entertain us!!!

(Cape Town, 2019-11-18)

#887

Animals are meant to be living in their environments, in nature - not whipped, chained & mistreated for humans entertainment

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#888

Exploiting animals for money is unexeptable.

(Durban, 2019-11-18)

#891

Circuses are stupid. Nobody wants to see animals controlled with whips to do silly tricks in captivity. its not interesting for anyone in fact we all hate it.

(Bedfordview, 2019-11-18)

#892

Animals are not supposed to be in a circus.

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#897

This is just wrong

(Bellville, 2019-11-18)

#902

Because I do not support animal abuse

(Atlasville, 2019-11-18)

#906

This animal abuse cannot continue

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#907

This is animal abuse- maybe the owners of these animals should be locked in cages and taught tricks not in their nature to see how it feels. What happened to humanity?!

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#911

It is cruel and not entertainment at all. Belongs in the Middle Ages.

(Cape town, 2019-11-18)

#914

I do not agree with animals being kept in horrible conditions and treated badly just for some act .

(Kempton Park, 2019-11-18)

#915

Animals deserve the right to be free and live an actual life. Not to be caged up and run in circles their whole life. Shut it down.

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#916

Animals should not be kept in small cages and performing tricks.....

Would you like this been done to you? If not, then why do you think the animals will want it done to them?

(Jhb, 2019-11-18)

#917

Animals don't belong in the circus.

(Uitenhage, 2019-11-18)

#918

Why must animals do tricks for their daily meal? Animals used in circuses are inhumane to say the least. All circus animals should retire and no animals used in circuses anymore. I want to be entertained by human artistry and not by animal slavery!

(Pretoria, 2019-11-18)

#921

Because they are wild animals and don't deserve to be in a cage

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#925

All life matters, human and animal. It’s time to put an end to humans being cruel to animals, abusing animals and using and exploiting animals for their selfish gains. We need to conserve and protect.

(Pretoria, 2019-11-18)

#926

Animal circuses belong in the past. This cruel and archaic practice of using animals to entertain humans MUST STOP!!!

(Jeffreys Bay, 2019-11-18)

#928

It needs to end

(Howick, 2019-11-18)

#929

I am against wild animals in captivity and being used for tricks!!!

(Edenvale, 2019-11-18)

#930

It not natural and I believe the animals are hurt to perform

(Greenstone, 2019-11-18)

#932

I believe all wild animals need to be free and wild..

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#934

Because a circus is no life for these poor animals, place them in a sanctuary where they can live a decent life at least. They lie when they say they don't mistreat their animals... can tou imagine teaching even a domestic cat to do tricks? The training is entirely inhumane!!! Let alone traveling in hot cages to face rowdy crowds all the time!! Shocking and viciously cruel!!!

(Wellington, 2019-11-18)

#936

I’m signing because I have never condoned animals in circuses and think it’s very cruel to force animals to do tricks for our entertainment

(Potchefstroom, 2019-11-18)

#944

I adore animals and it breaks my heart to see them unwillingly have to endure certain circumstances like being in a circus for peoples pleasure and for money and I don't support it at all and would love to be apart of something that can put a stop to it.

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#953

#961

Animals should not be exploited for financial gain

(Cape Town, 2019-11-18)

#962

Because it is terribly cruel and these animals belong in the wild or if they can no longer survive in the wild, then in a sanctuary where they can live a normal life as possible.

(Cape Town, 2019-11-18)

#963

I’m signing this because animals have the right to freedom and are not meant to be kept in cages and controlled by humans for the value of entertainment. This is disgusting behavior and shouldn’t be allowed, no matter the reasoning.
THIS NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN.

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)

#965

It's not natural to keep these animals like this and it's not in their nature to be trained to do things like this. This should not be allowed and keeping animals in circuses for human entertainment is completely wrong, unethical and should be illegal.

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-18)
