Serbia/ Belgrade 2008.
This year, we are facing the same problems with local circus :Corona/Moscow.
This Circus abuses Animals and operates in Serbia for the past several years…
we got really tired of them.
Reasons for protest we mentioned numerous times on Serbian TV stations and in newspapers, but still one municipality gave “permit” to the circus to be their “guest”.
After numerous complaints sent to Zemun multiplicity, complaints to the veterinary inspections and other relevant institutions-
Street protest was next:
NO MORE ANIMALS IN CIRCUSES!
PROTEST AGAINST CIRCUS MOSCOW WAS HELD IN FRONT OF THE CIRCUS TENT- CIRCUS OWNER MARIJA was very rude to our activists even showed her “f” finger to one of the activist who took photos of animals under circus tent.. Again tons of lies were served from the circus clan “animals are not abused, we love our animals, we use only domesticated animals”.
(on the protest day- most of the animals were hidden away, but activists managed to shoot some videos and photos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsxM8h3JkVM, http://picasaweb.google.com/nephillia/CircusCorona2008
Our photos and videos clearly show that Tigers, Lamas, Panthers.. and other wild animals were in caged around the circus tent.
One of the AR Independent Activists -Olivera talked to the circus kids- (those kids “work” in circus) after they took several leaflets which activist were handing out and they wanted to tear them and throw them on grass.. After the short conversation with them/ Olivera managed to get them promote our poster , and made them gather leaflets they had previously throw on grass.
(Animals live in faeces and urine), circus leave unhealthy grass as area is soaked with faeces..)
Over all impression on protest- is good, activists left protest with grudge in their chests- because Animals were left in cages—
We will come back and will proceed protesting against this horrible circus.. We are not stopping and are calling and writing to the relevant institutions until this circus is banned for good.
NO MORE ANIMALS IN CIRCUSES!

~”NOW, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!”
