Closed Put and end to UK circuses using animals as part of their 'performances'.

Closed on

Along with you I feel it is extremely necessary to put an end to the abusive, cruel and unorthodox ways in which animals are treated in order to 'perform' to an audience. Awareness for this issue is preposterously inadequate and a lot more action against this compulsory to make a difference.

One case study to get a taste of the happens that are kept away from the public is Anne the elephant:

These animals are put through a life of pain for a number of hours worth of entertainment, surely everybody can see the imbalance in this.
