I used to love going to the circus as a child to see these animals. As an adult and animal rescuer, I HATE scat this lifestyle imposes on these animals. SET THEM FREE, THEY ALSO DESERVE A QUALITY LIFE.

Animals should be free and not used at a circus.

(Roodepoort, 2019-11-19)

#2015

I don’t agree with it and it’s cruel

(Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2019

These archaic practices have no place in a modern society and need to be banned. It is not an animal's nature to be used for the entertainment of a human, it's deplorable and should be a crime.

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-19)

#2020

This is insane to still allow circus' to still operate

(Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2023

Our animals should not be put in enclosures and used as play toys for the pleasure of humans. They deserve to be free and not abused for entertainment.

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-19)

#2024

I’m signing because South Africa needs to get with the times. Animals are no longer being used like this and they shouldn’t be.

I believe in the rights of animals! We need to be the voice for the voiceless! Animals are being exploited to the point where they are immensely depressed and sick... they need to be free! They need to be in their natural habitat! THIS IS NOT OKAY!! !

(Pretoria, 2019-11-19)

#2028

The use of animals in circuses is cruel and inhumane. There is absolutely no need for wild animals to be put on display in unnatural surroundings and used purely for the entertainment of humans.
I do not condone animal cruelty in any shape or form.

Animals should not be made to perform for the entertainment of humans. That is not natural behavior for them

(Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2048

I am signing this petition because i feel this is very wrong how animals are treated. No animal should be used as entertainment for a HUMAN! We can entertain ourselves, what is wrong with us? Are we degenerate? Imagine we put a human in a costume and made him prance around for us like a jester... then we will see how inhumane we ACTUALLY are! Kaylee Oberholster... i hope you get all the signatures you need for this!

Animal cruelty is wrong

(Durban, 2019-11-19)

#2063

Animals shouldn't be abused for profit. They belong in the wild. This is insane letting this continue. They're majestic wild animals not meat to be owned. Would you like to live in a small cage getting whipped to do do tricks and be malnourished? I think not. End of story. Its abuse. Time for it to end. Karma.

(Sandton, 2019-11-19)

#2075

animals do not belong in cages and should not be used for people's entertainment

(Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2080

Animals should have the freedom roam free - not stuck in cages. They should be loved not be displayed in some freak show. This is so outdated - I really cannot believe this still happens. Cruel and unnecessary!

(Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2081

It is barbaric to enslave animals for entertainment.

(Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2086

Circuses are cruelty

(Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2090

Im signing this petition because these animals have the right to a life NOT for entertainment.

Wild animals should not be in captivity & above all should not be kept in the tiny poor enclosures that they are, probably poked and proded to ensure their obedience.

Wild animals are not ment to be tamed! This is terribly sickening.

The owners & attendees of this circus have no heart for animals, infact this very well may be considered abuse!!!!

STOP this maddness!!!

Cruelty to animals

(Cape town, 2019-11-19)

#2104

No animal should be forced to live under such conditions

(Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2105

Against animal abuse
Entertainment doesn’t have to be at the expense of another being
Have a look at the German circus that uses holograms of animals, yes it might be expensive but sure you made some cash to invest in a once off system that requires no training or a maintenance.
If you care about your circus you’ll find a way. Maybe just get a shit load of scary clowns and make it a scary kinda circus. I won’t go but there is a market for this I guess. Scared shitless circus??
Figure it out 🇨🇦

(Auckland, 2019-11-19)

#2129

I believe we have evolved from using animals in circuses. Animals were not born to entertain us. They are wild and if they turn around and bite someone they are given the death sentence when they merely doing what they were born to do....... Be wild. These are not pets. They animals let them be free not put into small cages traveling. That's inhumane

(Cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2144

I feel animals deserve the same right as humans. They should never be used to make money. As humans fought against slavery, animals also need to be freed from slavery.

Animals do not deserve to be treated this way, being Kept in cages and transported around the country is not how their lives should be lived.

(Capetown, 2019-11-19)

#2186

Who do we think we are, to cage animals and abuse them for our entertainment?!?

(cape town, 2019-11-19)

#2188

It is against their nature to be trapped in a cage and transported in small stuffy trucks.The life expectancy of a circus animal is so much less than that of a wild animal, they become distressed, anxious and depressed. And even worse is the training process where these poor animals are "broken" and tamed, it is inhumane! These animals need freedom and open air

(Johannesburg, 2019-11-19)

#2194

The exploitation of animals are cruel they can use their own kids and see if they still want to continue

(cape Town, 2019-11-19)

#2195

Its cruel to make money off of animals that deserve to be in a place were there is space for them to be wild animals. These people can not provide them with what they need , they will never give them what they deserve because it will cost them to much money . There should be no more circuses with animals in it .
