The California circus ban hasn’t gone far enough to protect wild animals. We have seen that recently with a candidate for Governor dragging Tag, the bear, around for public appearances.

We need legislation enacted in California that will ban the use of wild animals such as bears, lions, tigers, chimpanzees and monkeys from being used as “performers”. The animals currently being used and abused for this need to go to accredited sanctuaries. 

California needs our government officials to take the welfare of animals seriously. It’s time to close the circus ban loophole that allows this abuse to continue. There is no grey area when it comes to animal welfare. No wild animal performs voluntarily. They perform out of fear or out of hunger. 

Please join me in urging our leaders to do the right thing for the animals.
