IMPORTANT UPDATE 25/4/15
– There is some much better news about this facility now.
Check this post out by all means, but the following link below needs to be accessed in order to read about the progress. As we say, this is now a rather old post and things were certainly moving on to get the animals removed. Please check:

We have a very urgent request from Fatemeh at Vafa animal shelter in Iran. It relates to many different species of animals which are being kept in barbaric conditions at an Iranian circus.
This hell hole for animals needs to be closed down – and now !

Please try and pass the video link and e mail contact with Fatemeh to any major animal welfare organizations who you think may be able to help; wherever you are in the world. Major US organizations would be very welcome. Here in the UK we have already sent the video to Born free Foundation and are also attempting to get B. Bardot Foundation involved with this. Pressure is needed from all over the world regarding this – please try and do it.
See some of the beautiful dogs which now have happy new homes around the world – go to Happy ending stories: http://www.vafashelter.com/main/en/vafa-shelter/happy-ending-stories for many more pictures and stories about each dog.
Thanks – regards Mark – SAV Founder.
The following message has come from Fatemeh via Sharon here in the UK; it reads:
CAN ANYONE ADVISE OR HELP HERE PLEASE? THESE POOR ANIMALS MUST BE RESCUED/REMOVED FROM THIS HELL-HOLE
PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY TO PEOPLE OR ORGANISATIONS YOU THINK COULD HELP

Dear Animal Lovers…
I am crying for help….Please, Please take action and do something about it. It is beyond cruelty…
They are animals of a circus that are kept in a brutal condition in south of Iran which is very hot…
I just saw this video today and could not just watch without trying to do something for them, I truly hope that you can help them to get in better conditions and better life as they are suffering at the moment.
