 Write to Organisations, Politicians to close all Zoos, Cirucses, Marine Parks, Rodeos and release Animals to Sanctuaries.

Join and support the Cause rel="nofollow">www.Circuses.com you can learn much about what circus animals endure. You can watch undercover footage of an elephant training session at the popular Carson and Barnes circus. You'll hear those naturally gentle herbivorous animals shrieking in pain and fear as a trainer with a bullhook urges his apprentice not to just touch them but to "hurt 'em," and "make 'em scream," saying that it has be done there in the barn -- it can't be done in front of 1,000 people.

ZOOS



Even at the world's "best" zoos, such as the San Diego Zoo, one still sees animals living in small cages. I think of two monkeys I saw in an enclosure at the San Diego zoo (which one couldn't help noticing was about the size of a jail cell). Those intelligent fellow primates don't just sleep in that cell, which would be the case for prisoners in a high security prison -- they never get out. No time in the yard, or gym, or cafeteria. And no parole.

With little to amuse them, one thing animals in a zoo might cherish are the bonds they form with their cell mates. But zoos swap animals back and forth for breeding programs with no concern for long-term or familial relationships.

In August 2003, a superb article in US News and World Report, headed "Cruel and Usual," spelled out the pitiful fate of older animals dumped by large popular zoos, where lively adolescents are more popular with visitors . They often end up in tiny filthy cages at roadside zoos across the country, or in canned hunts, where hunters pay large sums for the guaranteed kill of an exotic trophy animal. That article tells us "Dumping animals is the big, respectable zoos' dirty little secret."









MARINE PARKS

If you visit the Seaquarium in Miami, you can watch Lolita, an Orca who has been there in a small tank for thirty years, do tricks to amuse the crowd. If you visit rel="nofollow">www.Sharkonline.org of the use of an electric prod as a government inspection official watches. After the rodeo, injured animals are carted off to the slaughter plant.

Release Animals to Sanctuaries where they can live free!



Sample Letter:

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,


i am writing to express my condemnation about Millions of Animals who perform as Entertainers in Zoos, Circuses, Marine Parks, Rodeos.

Circus animals live in cars or in chains when not performing tricks in the ring. Most people, seeing tigers jumps through hoops of fire, or elephants stand on their heads, never think about what is behind those unnatural acts. The circus would like us to believe that the animals are trained with positive reinforcement.

With little to amuse them, one thing animals in a zoo might cherish are the bonds they form with their cell mates. But zoos swap animals back and forth for breeding programs with no concern for long-term or familial relationships.

Rodeo horses and bulls buck to try to release bucking straps, cinched tightly around their abdomens. Cows and horses are often prodded with an electrical "hotshot" while in the chute, to rile them, causing intense pain to the animals.

Animals are not Entertainer! Animals were born free.
I urge you to close all Zoos, Marine Parks, Circuses, Rodeos. and release Animals to Sanctuaries where they can live free .



Sincerely,






Write to President Obama:
