Animals do not belong in a circus and were not put on this earth to entertain us. Its cruel and barbaric!

This circus has been a cause of great distress and sadness to me since I was a little girl. Every time they are in town, since I can remember, it has only brought me heartache when I see those poor animals in their tiny cages. Forced to perform unnatural tasks for the amusement of humans.

I have always hated this circus and I truly hope we can shut it down for good.

This cruelty to our animals HAS to stop. Free the animals close down the circus if there are no human acts.....we DONT want to see our animals as ‘entertainment’ they are our pride and joy and what is happening to them is beyond shocking.
CLOSE DOWn MCLARENS CIRCUS FOR GOOD. We will picket outside all venues.

These animals are wild they should not be transported in small cages and made to do tricks for human entertainment

(Johannesburg, 2020-01-21)

#6637

This should not be happening ....

(Cape Town, 2020-01-21)

Against the way they restrict animal freedom by keeping them in cages.

(Pretoria, 2020-01-21)

I think they deserve to be free from entertainment all that bothers me is what will happen to them afterwards as there are a lot of places in sa that have problems with looking properly after wild life...

Animal cruelty should not be allowed!!

(Johannesburg, 2020-01-21)

#6659

I am signing because animals are not here on this planet for human entertainment. They are not clowns. Animals do not belong in captivity for any reasom whatsoever. Rehabilitation is not keeping it in a cage in a zoo, especially not keeping it in a cage for a circus. Mclaren circus should have been shut down before it began.

(Durban, 2020-01-21)

Inhumane

(Johannesburg, 2020-01-21)

#6663

I'm signing because keeping animals captive for human entertainment is cruel and I see it as animal abuse. NO animal deserves to sit in the sun the whole day waiting to perform for people after being trained (abused) to do so.
Animal cruelty!!!!!!!!!

(Alberton, 2020-01-21)

#6665

Animals aren't supposed to be our prisoners!
Imagine if things were the other way around?
Those animals have parents, imagine you witness your child being used as an entertainment prop

Wild animals in circuses are barbaric. This outdated use and abuse of animals is outrageous in 2020. Follow the worldwide trend South Africa and ban wild animals in circus shows.

(Johannesburg, 2020-01-22)

#6698

I'm signing this because the use (and abuse) of animals for humans entertainment is outdated and unethical.
The unfair treatment and expectations of these wild animals being caged and forced into doing tricks by means of fear / whips etc is barbaric and downright disgusting.
I have protested against McLaren and every form of the above animal abuse, and I will continue to fight until this man no longer has ownership of animals.

(Centurion Pretoria, 2020-01-22)

Animals belong in the wild. To confine these lovely animals is cruel and even worse to get them to entertain.

(Stowmarket, 2020-01-27)

#6765

I am against wild animal captivity and cruelty.

(Gauteng, 2020-01-27)

#6766

I don’t believe that it should be allowed to use wild animals in a circus. The people who go to the circus are just as guilty as the circus.

(Midrand, 2020-01-27)

I’m signing this petition because I have been to the circus 1 time in my life and I never wanted to go back. I have 4 girls and 7 grandchildren I have
NEVER taken them to the circus I have educated them on how the animals are treated. It’s
Not just the issue of the animals being free. They use whips and hooks on these animals. That is not okay! However there are humans in the circus if they don’t do as they are told why are they not whipped or hooked? Oh yeah they can make the decision to be in the circus and get paid. Owning an animal is a privilege not a right! Animal Cruelty is not okay. Many places think that it is only a Natural Law (God’s Law) so it does not matter, but in The State of Georgia you can be charged with a Felony for Cruelty to Animals. People don’t like to live behind bars, hit with a whip, or hooked (unless they are a Sadist) so how is it fair to do this to ANIMALS? The Animals will only take so much abuse before they attack someone and then the animal will be put down. There is no part of that is right! People may say that life is not fair; however if Laws are not made and HOLD people accountable for issues that everyone thinks that are small how can you hold them responsible for the Laws that are Large even under Natural Law? Something to think about, put yourself behind bars and have your freedom taken away, have someone hit you with a whip and a hook, but make sure it is for people’s entertainment. See if you feel pain, see how much you can take before you loose it. I don’t even crate my dogs! Please put a stop to this CRAZY tradition! Animals are nature’s beauty! So no I don’t believe in hunting!
