Circo Fantasy = Circo Cruelty

Circo Fantasy = Circo Cruelty

The Issue

The Circo Fantasy circus tours across parts of Europe. The circus boasts that its shows contain 60 live animals.

Unfortunately the way animals are forced to behave in circuses couldn't be farther from their natural behavior. To get the animals to behave in such a fashion they are subjected to deplorable acts of cruelty. Trainers use abuse and fear tactics to drive animals to do the various tricks that are required of them. Such tactics include pain inflicted with electrical prods, whips, and large hooks. This repeated abuse often causes such terrible stress on the animals that they will begin to self mutilate.
 
If such physical assaults were not enough, circuses are also cruel because they force animals that naturally have large ranges in the wild, such as big cats, elephants, and many more, to be confined to small and unappealing enclosures. Many circuses will spend as much as 50 weeks a year on the road. During which time animals spend the majority of their time in confinement.

For individuals who might be traveling to Europe or have friends or relatives there, please do not support Circo Fantasy or any circus in anyway. Please strongly encourage others to do the same. Sign the following letter and pledge not to support and encourage others not to support Circo Fantasy.
