                        Circuses are undeniably cruel and vicious towards wild animals. After all, cruelty is the only way to get lions, elephants, and other exotic animals to perform unnatural tricks.

                        Handlers use a variety of torture techniques to force animals to perform for humans. These include whips, electric shocks through prods, and bullhooks to dig into and under animals' skin.



                        The goal is to crush animals' spirits enough that they won't fight back or disobey — that they will become pliant and obedient to avoid further pain. On top of that, animals are shoved into tiny cages where they are locked for hours as the shows travel from location to location.

                        This isn't just bad for the animals. It's also bad for people. Over the past 30 years, records show that approximately 160 dangerous incidents have occurred involving elephants, bears, big cats, monkeys and other primates in traveling shows throughout the U.S. These incidents have led to the deaths of 10 adults, as well as injuries to 136 adults and 73 children.



                        Luckily, more and more U.S. states are passing laws to ban this awful exploitation, with Massachusetts being the latest to join the trend. Other New England states, including Connecticut, Maine, and Vermont, must do the same! Sign the petition now!

                        P.S. There are no redeeming qualities that make it okay to shove animals in tiny cages, torture them into submission, and force them to entertain humans over and over using unnatural tricks. Sign the petition.
