This is a video documentary entitled 'Behind the Big Top' produced by the Humane Society of the United States.

It shows the truth about how animals are treated in order to perform for circuses that use wild animals as part of their show, and how they are treated in-between performing and while traveling from show to show.

Wild animals are just that wild; taking them from their natural environments or dealers or cheap zoos where they are seen as nothing but a cash crop, is so immoral cruel and wrong and unforgivable; and then when these innocent animals escape or go on a rampage and perhaps injure or kill an innocent human life, all of a sudden an incredible elephant is the big bad monster and gets shot for it's trouble, when it didn't do anything wrong, except bow down and obey anthropocentric and incredibly selfish human beings for the fear of being further abused or the victim of unnecessary pain and suffering.

You don't have to be Albert Einstein to figure this out? Anyone with half a brain can see that seeing a wild bear stand on its hind legs in a waistcoat it's not natural and just plain outrageous.

So please if you are planning on seeing a circus make sure they circus your planning on seeing does not have any wild animals in their act, and if they do, to not to support that circus and provide the reason for these unnecessary very selfish and unforgivable acts to continue in the name of selfishness tradition and profit.

Animals are not just commodities for human applications just because humans think they are bigger better smarter and god all mighty superior to them in every way, when in fact much is the opposite.

We can't abuse wild animals just because we want to be entertained, it's wrong simple as that.

So don't be fooled by the bright lights, cheery sounds and 'apparently' happy wild animals. Be vigilant, have heart and boycott the circuses that use wild animals in their shows.

Thank You

  • I honestly never knew about what goes on with the Circus animals behind closed doors until now. It really breaks my heart, because what did these animals ever do to their trainers? Besides, wild animals belong in the wild, period. After seeing this and another video about what goes on with those animals behind closed doors, I will never, EVER go to a Circus again.

  • making wild animals "perform" in a circus is wrong.

    wild animals do not belong in zoos either.

    wild sea creatures do not belong in seaworld.

    can you imagine being forced to live your life in your bedroom, never being allowed to leave?

    we wonder why these wild animals lose it and go on rampages...

    with God's help, i came to these decisions and realizations about 2-3 years ago.

    please consider what is done to these beautiful animals...

    thank you

  • this is another reason ppl wonder why all the destruction is happening on earth, whether comets or quakes or any creator humans believe is doing those things..this still goes on.. humans are the most evil on this earth n still its all about their lives? peace to you. X
