While the Tyke incident inspired legislation against the horrifying practice of training circus animals on local levels in Hawaii and abroad, elephants and other wild animals continue to be used in circuses all around the world, notably in the USA.
Wild animals may be prohibited in your country, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need to support animals that are being mistreated in other parts of the world.
Newsner is keen on putting an end to this. We want to make a change. And together with you, we believe that it’s possible.
Elephants and other wild animals don’t belong in circuses, where they are abused and tortured for the sole use of human entertainment and amusement.
This is an important call for attention to this horrifying practice. Together, we can stop wild animals from being used in circuses.
You can make a difference by sharing this video and showing your support. And most importantly: Boycott circuses that use wild animals.
