The Unethical Treatment
of Circus Animals
Related Articles       Analysis

    The unethical treatment of circus animals is a rampant problem that has yet to be adequately addressed. This site is designed to provide you with an impression of the problems and solutions that accompany this issue.

    Many circus animals are abused everyday by their owners. These animals are forced to perform dangerous tricks and are beaten if they do not comply. Circus animals either live in small crates or are chained leg to leg like prisoners. These animals are often taken from the wild and will live out their remaining years traveling with the circus never to run free again.

    This cruel abuse of circus animals must stop. Animals performing in circuses should be banned by the Federal Government. Congress should pass a bill stopping this inhumane treatment before another animal is ripped from their homeland and tortured.
