The silent suffering

This is about circus animals.
The horrible conditions, the loneliness, the boredom, day in day out for our entertainment.
The big cats are locked up in small cages. 24/7, this is their life.

Elephants are chained up day in day out.
Animals who normaly walk for 30 miles a day.

The elephant without tusks, the first photo was taken at 06.49 hour and when she collapsed it was 07.02 She is not sleeping, she collapsed because of being undernourished. If she is still alive, nobody knows...

The polar bear was going crazy with a temperature of 43ºC in 2003. We tried to rescue her but the circus Atlas disappeared across the border to Spain.

Cuca the velvet monkey died before we could rescue her. She was chained up for 19 years and lived alone.

Here a video about Circus Madness

How animals turn slowly mad.

These animals are dying out, will we miss them when they are gone, leaving with no trace left behind.?

Please don't let this happen, their future is in your hands.

Also the domesticated animals are suffering, the horses, camels and ponies.
All the photos, except Tusker, are mine.
Tusker was shot because the government of Zimbabwe had a new year's party in a national park. Children were throwing fire crackers at Tusker, a wild elephant but very people friendly. Because he got upset, he signed his own death warned.

The law about wild animals in circuses changed in Portugal.

No more new animals allowed.

Well done Portugal.

I have not been to a circus since the 50's I won't even go to zoo's anymore, not since I started watching all the live cams.. It's so un natural to see them that way, behind bars
