I am a protester and will keep on protesting till the circus stops coming to Malta. Well done to everyone who came to the protest.
I can’t believe people are so ignorant and still close their eyes to animal abuse in circuses. It’s a fact that these animals are abused – whether physically or mentally it remains abuse. Making animals like tigers do stupid tricks is inhumane as these animals are not like the domestic dog which wants to learn and keep busy. Tigers perform tricks because they are forced to not because they want to. Living in a cage is no freedom; it is not “like a human in its house”, as someone said. We can leave when we please but animals in circuses can’t.
We need to educate our children about circuses and the abuse, not lie that circuses don’t harm their animals. People need to open their eyes and see the truth: circuses are cruel.
