It's been a mere three weeks since I pressed publish on this petition, yet hundreds of thousands of you have already signed to show your support to help ban this barbaric practice.  I can't thank you enough! Everyday that wild animals are being used in circuses is another day of horrific exploitation and unnatural performances, yet every signature and every person that stands up to oppose this is one voice closer to closing down wild animal circuses.

We will soon be one month from the Second Reading of the Bill, (26 October) and for that reason, it is imperative that we continue building momentum and applying pressure to the decision makers. When the time comes and the petition has gained sufficient support, we will be able to present it to those who have the power to either halt the use of wild animals in circuses, or allow it to continue. This needs to happen before the second reading takes place so please, please share the petition with friends, with family and with anyone who sees this mistreatment and exploitation as wrong and immoral.
