It's that time of year! The circus is coming to Tampa once again. We plan to be speaking up for the animals, who suffer from the constant travel, abusive training and social isolation. In the circus virtually all of animals' natural behaviors are thwarted.
Please come out and help us educate and be the voice for these animals. The circus has long been thought of as an event to delight and entertain but for circus animals that spend up to 50 weeks per year in "transport" cages or railroad box...
It's that time of year! The circus is coming to Tampa once again. We plan to be speaking up for the animals, who suffer from the constant travel, abusive training and social isolation. In the circus virtually all of animals' natural behaviors are thwarted.
Please come out and help us educate and be the voice for these animals. The circus has long been thought of as an event to delight and entertain but for circus animals that spend up to 50 weeks per year in "transport" cages or railroad boxcars, the circus is no fun at all. The demonstrations will occur at the intersection of Channelside Dr. and S. Morgan St. Each demo will be an hour and a half. We will try to get patrons going in as well as leaving the circus this year. We welcome you for any time you can give. The animals need our voice.
Animals in circuses live miserable lives of deprivation, confinement and abuse. Ringling's animal-care history is riddled with USDA violations and penalties. At least twenty-five Ringling elephants, including four babies, have died since 1992! More info: http://www.animalrightsflorida.org/Ringling
