Rejected petition Ban all animal circuses and shows. They have no place in a just society.

These shows exploit animals and cause physical and psychological pain to them. It is not ethical to exploit animals and force animals to learn performances for your profit and at their pain. It isn't a necessity to do so, it is animal abuse, and our society does not need to tolerate such actions.

More details

There are not many of these shows left here, but with this passed as law we can be rid of such practices once and for all. Signing this is us making a simple choice to act in alignment with our ethics and what we know to be morally right. Thank you.
