Action Alert from All-Creatures.org
ACTION
The time has come to end traveling animal acts. Tell your family, friends
and neighbors. Let’s raise a ruckus and get this thing done!
Write to your U.S. senators and representatives telling them to move S2121
and HR2863 to a vote and to pass this important legislation. Tweet and post
on their Facebook pages and follow up with a call to be sure these bills are
finally passed.

INFORMATION
Some talking points for you:
- TEAPSPA will stop the suffering of circus animals.
- Studies on the use of wild animals in traveling acts show that
circuses cannot meet the physical or behavioral needs of wild animals.
- Animals are confined in small spaces, deprived of physical and
social needs, and spend excessive time shut in trailers and train cars.
- These animals often demonstrate abnormal behaviors – rocking,
swaying, and pacing – indicating they are in distress and not coping
with their environment.
-
Animal Defenders International's video evidence shows these animals
are forced to perform tricks through physical violence, fear, and
intimidation.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
