Animals in circuses are often beaten, shocked, kicked, or cruelly confined in order to train them to be obedient and do tricks. In circuses, animals stay in cramped cages, they are overworked and undernourished. Animals are also beaten into submission and their horrible living conditions lead to early deaths – often by illnesses not found in their natural habitats. If you sign this petition, I won't be the only person who is thankful. All the animals there would thank you.
