I have to say that even DISNEY seemed to show the truth behind traveling circuses decades ago. Ever watch Dumbo?
And it’s sad to me that the same parents buying their children that movie are also taking their children to the circus when it comes to town.
There are other, non-cruel, forms of entertainment out there people.
THINK about your actions and consequences. Not that hard.

- THE PITCH
-
put yourself in their fur, their cages, their paws, their long dark hot dreary train ride just to perform tricks to make others laugh. Traveling hours -days without fresh air, same postion without proper air, water, relief for their bodies , no movement to shift and rest comfortably, then to be denied comanionship, comfort, and love. Cursed at for moving to slow, pricked and proded with flesh hook stick that cut ,hurt & make you bleed. your tired, lonely, hungry and all you get is abuse,…then left alone..no comfort…just waiting…till it’s " show time" once again.

Can you hear their voices weeping – painfully , mournfully crying out " come save me from this sorrowful torrment. my captors beat me, suffer me to live without proper care, food , shelter. When they get angry they hit me, unmerciful they are. They leave me hurt , wounded chained all alone. I am so sad. so frightened. I need some one to come and rescue me from this torrment and awful painful living conditions- if you call this living. My living quarters are dirty, cramped, cold. They take my babies away from me. I don’t know where they are. I miss them. I don’t feel well. I don’t want to play with the ball anymore, or stand on my head, its so uncomfortable, or sit up at the ring master’s command and whip. I just want to go somewhere quite and peaceful with my baby and my own kind. And be free. Would you be so kind as to help me and others like me forced to live this horriable way of life, to find a way to escape this lonely , cruel life? To be and live as my Creator meant for me and others like me. Please hear my weeping and come to my rescue".

Moonie, & friends of animals, I agree with each and every one of you. I am 50 yrs young and have felt this way all my life. I love animals more than most humans. You know that God is weeping right along with His Creatures, also. I vollenteer at our local PAWS and I will tell everyone there about this campaign. Keep up the good words and works!

Hi everyone! After I reread my post, I realized I misworded something…I meant to say that, so far I love animals more than most of the people I know! I just can’t help it! It’s really the way I feel. I enjoy people, very much, I guess I’ve just known a lot of stinkers! Who hasn’t ? God Bless!!!!

If you are a parent, you need to explain to your children WHY we don’t want to support the Circus by going to it and tell the Principal at your school why we should not support it. (Every year the school sends home discount coupons that are given to every child in the school. THIS needs to stop) My daughters are 5 and 7 and they understand and then tell their classmates. This is where it needs to start.

What a great idea! My 2 children are 21 & 23, however they were raised since toddlers to love & respect animals….NO REAL FUR….tolerance…..NO “animal acts”….To this day they love & are kind to ALL animals!

moonie lunar replied on Dec 31, 2008Hey Roxanne, good advice- but most americans have been raised to eat meat and think that is the norm… Gen 1 29-20…..and we are just learning how cruely animals are treated in the farms & slaughter places.. so as an american I have been weaning myself from meat…it isn’t easy… I run out of ideas for new & tasty meals.. I need a good vegetarian cookbook! but we all still MUST write & call our Senators and Congress person and tell them how we want new laws for the protection of all God’s created animals.
did you all see my new post for the saving of our American wolves ( and add the cyotes too)…and tha armadilloes, praire dog…it seems all of america is some how against all our wildlife to utterly destroy them from the face of the earth…they either eat them or destroy them… save the animals and protect them………………
