I used to love going to the circus as a child to see these animals. As an adult and animal rescuer, I HATE scat this lifestyle imposes on these animals. SET THEM FREE, THEY ALSO DESERVE A QUALITY LIFE.

I don’t agree with it and it’s cruel

These archaic practices have no place in a modern society and need to be banned. It is not an animal's nature to be used for the entertainment of a human, it's deplorable and should be a crime.

This is insane to still allow circus' to still operate

Hayley van Breemen (Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

Our animals should not be put in enclosures and used as play toys for the pleasure of humans. They deserve to be free and not abused for entertainment.

Shoana Ingle (Johannesburg, 2019-11-19)

I believe in the rights of animals! We need to be the voice for the voiceless! Animals are being exploited to the point where they are immensely depressed and sick... they need to be free! They need to be in their natural habitat! THIS IS NOT OKAY!! !

Natasha Goss (Pretoria, 2019-11-19)

The use of animals in circuses is cruel and inhumane. There is absolutely no need for wild animals to be put on display in unnatural surroundings and used purely for the entertainment of humans.
I do not condone animal cruelty in any shape or form.

Mika Stanvliet (Stellenbosch, 2019-11-19)

#2048

I am signing this petition because i feel this is very wrong how animals are treated. No animal should be used as entertainment for a HUMAN! We can entertain ourselves, what is wrong with us? Are we degenerate? Imagine we put a human in a costume and made him prance around for us like a jester... then we will see how inhumane we ACTUALLY are! Kaylee Oberholster... i hope you get all the signatures you need for this!

#2063

Animals shouldn't be abused for profit. They belong in the wild. This is insane letting this continue. They're majestic wild animals not meat to be owned. Would you like to live in a small cage getting whipped to do do tricks and be malnourished? I think not. End of story. Its abuse. Time for it to end. Karma.

animals do not belong in cages and should not be used for people's entertainment

Lee Goldstein (Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2080

Animals should have the freedom roam free - not stuck in cages. They should be loved not be displayed in some freak show. This is so outdated - I really cannot believe this still happens. Cruel and unnecessary!

Vanessa Gill (Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2090

Im signing this petition because these animals have the right to a life NOT for entertainment.

Wild animals should not be in captivity & above all should not be kept in the tiny poor enclosures that they are, probably poked and proded to ensure their obedience.

Wild animals are not ment to be tamed! This is terribly sickening.

The owners & attendees of this circus have no heart for animals, infact this very well may be considered abuse!!!!

STOP this maddness!!!

Sheena Campling (Benoni, 2019-11-19)

Heidi Heslin (Cape Town , 2019-11-19)

#2105

Against animal abuse
Entertainment doesn’t have to be at the expense of another being
Have a look at the German circus that uses holograms of animals, yes it might be expensive but sure you made some cash to invest in a once off system that requires no training or a maintenance.
If you care about your circus you’ll find a way. Maybe just get a shit load of scary clowns and make it a scary kinda circus. I won’t go but there is a market for this I guess. Scared shitless circus??
Figure it out 🇨🇦

Natasha Martin (Auckland, 2019-11-19)

#2129

I believe we have evolved from using animals in circuses. Animals were not born to entertain us. They are wild and if they turn around and bite someone they are given the death sentence when they merely doing what they were born to do....... Be wild. These are not pets. They animals let them be free not put into small cages traveling. That's inhumane

Lesley Stegman (Germiston , 2019-11-19)

I feel animals deserve the same right as humans. They should never be used to make money. As humans fought against slavery, animals also need to be freed from slavery.

Who do we think we are, to cage animals and abuse them for our entertainment?!?

katja mobitz (cape town, 2019-11-19)

#2188

It is against their nature to be trapped in a cage and transported in small stuffy trucks.The life expectancy of a circus animal is so much less than that of a wild animal, they become distressed, anxious and depressed. And even worse is the training process where these poor animals are "broken" and tamed, it is inhumane! These animals need freedom and open air

Michella Deyzel (Johannesburg, 2019-11-19)

#2195

Its cruel to make money off of animals that deserve to be in a place were there is space for them to be wild animals. These people can not provide them with what they need , they will never give them what they deserve because it will cost them to much money . There should be no more circuses with animals in it .
