Animals should be free in the wild not trapped in a cage and use for entertainment. Wild animals trapped in a cage you can't put them back in the wild because now they are to comfortably with humans so they will have to be killed or be taken to a zoo or park. Humans take the freedom of these animals and imprison them for their own fun and games that is so not fair!!!!!😥🤬😡(Carletonville, 2019-11-19)

It is so sad to see wild animals taken out of their natural habitat, locked in cages and made to preform and probably abused as well(Malkerns, 2019-11-19)
#1915
I’m signing because I vehemently believe that these animals do not deserve to be kept behind bars and cages just to be used for entertainment! Shut them down!A few years ago maybe about 2 years - most of my friends and other Capetonians cried out to shut down Mclaren circus. The disgusting behavior and language from the owner was shocking! Worst of all were to see the comments he had about the animals and their right to freedom.. WOW.

I’m signing because I have seen the mistreatment of the animals and I believe that animals being used in a circus such as this is animal abuse. I have seen the cages the animals are kept in which are smaller than the required size. This circus must be shut down.(Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

Circuses perpetuate animal cruelty and ignorance!(Port Elizabeth, 2019-11-19)
#1931
I've been to a circus before I really don't go to any of them anymore because I really don't like to see how they use and abuse the animals at all. The animals deserve freedom as we are all created in God's image and likeness. None of us deserve to be held captive just for entertainment or to make money for a living other than hurting the lives of animals. Would any of us as humans like to be hit,hurt,bruised and abused like that? Definitely not. We need to take care of these animals in our beautiful country and make sure they have the freedom to live a better life.(Emalaheni, 2019-11-19)
