Animals that are in circuses do not chose to be "performers" rather they are forced to, and the ways they teach them how to perform include whips, collars, muzzles, bullhooks and other tools that hurt the animals. They are also dragged in trucks for days, crammed into tight spaces, sometimes even left with no food and water. We need desperately to put a stop to this abuse. Circuses may seem like a family oriented occasion, but what happens in the background of the event can not, and will not, be overlooked. Feld Entertainment is the lead producer of one of the biggest circuses, Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, which people call "The Greatest Show on Earth" When you hear that phrase think of the poor animals and help us try to free them from the abuse!
