Closed Ban Animal circuses in the UK. It is animal cruelty and completely barbaric.

Closed on

I am tired of seeing endless videos and stories all over the internet and news of animals being killed or showing signs of such unnatural distress simply for our entertainment. As humans and as a community it is our duty to keep moving forward from senseless, unnecessary and straight up callous acts
