Pick PETA's Best Anti-Circus Video

Animals have no place in the circus. They belong in their natural environment, where they can roam and live freely, not in performances where they are forced to jump through fire and perform tricks. Bears, elephants, tigers, and all other circus animals deserve a peaceful, happy life, and that's why we've been fighting to end circus cruelty.

Circuses are traveling prisons where animals stay locked up for days without adequate care. Trainers use bullhooks, whips, sticks, electric prods, and other tools that intentionally cause pain and injury to force animals to perform acts that are often frightening and painful. It's important to talk to people about the harsh realities of this business and show them that the only circuses that are truly entertaining for everyone are animal-free circuses.
