Evolve: Ban Circus Performances Using Animals

Evolve: Ban Circus Performances Using Animals

The Issue

We are the ones who need to push for changes in how animals are treated and viewed. Please help protect the magnificent animals that are still being used and abused in the circus. A circus was once considered family entertainment. We know better now.

This petition is going to the Mayor of every municipality hosting the Shriners Circus  this summer. Let them know we don't condone this and do not consider it healthy family entertainment.

150 years ago, slavery was considered ok. It was not
125 years ago, child labor was considered ok. It was not
100 years ago, denying women voting rights was considered ok. It was not
75 years ago, not helping the handicapped or the hungry was considered ok. It was not
50 years ago, racism was considered ok. It was not
25 years ago, unequal pay for equal work was considered ok. It was not
Today, the suffering that humans inflict on animals in the name of entertainment is considered ok. It is not

Time to stand up for the voiceless.
