Animal cruelty is such a major issue in todays society but also something that is not considered such a big deal.. CIRCUSES ARE THE WORST! ! ! ! These poor animals spent most of their lives chain and moved in trucks from city to city.. And the only reason to why these poor animals to obey is because they are afraid of punishments such as whipping and pooked with sharp object.. They are use for our entertainment WHICH IS WRONG... seeing an animal in pain being mocked is not fun!
The Truth About Circuses (animaldefense.com)
On April 3, 1998, Sterling & Reid had eight horses confiscated by the San Bernardino Humane Society for being severely underweight. The circus is now being charged with 8 counts of animal cruelty.
• In August 1997, an elephant with King Royal Circus died from heat prostration in a raging hot trailer car.
• When not performing, which is 90% of the time, elephants in circuses are chained by the leg and. rock/sway from frustration, anger and boredom--or are restrained via electrical fencing.
• Circus animals perform from fear of punishment which is why whips and bullhooks are used as reminders during certain performances.
• Behind the scenes, training sessions of animals in circuses are brutal with "make or break'em" methods employed which involve numerous physical and psychological abuses.
• At the conclusion of their performing days, animals have been sold to game preserves to be hunted, zoos, menageries and even medical experimentation.
