Further updated 19/7. New text and pictures added.
Recently, a PETA Asia eyewitness visited 10 different circus and animal-training facilities in China and documented heartbreaking conditions for animals kept as slaves in the entertainment industry. These are their faces:
Bear cubs were also tied to a hook in the ground by a short rope, making it impossible to move more than a few inches in any direction.
When not being forced to perform, big cats were confined to small cages with little space to move around in. Many were forced to wear chains around their necks.
Monkeys were kept in and chained to small, barren cages, in which they thrashed around and paced back and forth, showing signs of intense distress. They had no choice but to eat, drink, sleep, defecate, and urinate all in one small area.
This senior dog, named Laifu by the eyewitness and too old to perform, was forced to live in this cage 24 hours a day and never let out.
You’ve heard their stories. Now what will you do to stop this?

Throughout China, circuses, traveling shows, and roadside zoos force animals—including bears, monkeys, tigers, lions, dogs, and others—to perform for the public.
A PETA Asia investigator visited 10 different circuses and animal training facilities in the city of Suzhou, which alone encompasses more than 300 circuses, and documented animal abuse and suffering on a massive scale. PETA Asia’s investigator documented that bear cubs are chained or tethered to a wall and forced to stand on their hind legs, sometimes for hours. If they can’t hold themselves up, they risk choking and hanging themselves.
.
Bear cubs were chained to a brick wall and forced
to stand upright, putting them at risk of choking or hanging.
This bear’s snout was pierced with a metal ring, which was used to lead her around.
This caged bear’s snout was pierced by a metal ring, which was used to lead her around. This procedure is frequently performed without pain medication.
One monkey, named Xiaohau by the investigator, was dragged around by a rope around her neck, causing her to struggle frantically and try to escape.
Xiaohua struggled against her trainer as he tossed her around and pulled on the rope around her neck.
Any circus that uses animals inevitably subjects them to terrifying and cruel training methods as well as barren, cramped living conditions. U.S.-based circuses like Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, UniverSoul Circus, Jordan World Circus, and others continue to exploit animals. Training sessions take place behind closed doors and are not regulated by a protective entity. Jordan World Circus—one of the largest producers of Shrine Circuses in the country—even uses bears, just like the Chinese circuses that PETA Asia investigated.
Please click here to learn more about the investigation and pledge never to buy a ticket to any circus that uses animals.

Petition link –
FOUR REASONS TO CRY: RESCUED ELEPHANTS BEING FORCED BACK INTO CIRCUS
On May 27, 2016, four abused elephants who were blind, chained, injured, and forced to perform illegally were rescued in Pune by your Government. For this action, we applaud your leadership and compassion.
Regretfully, I have just heard that the Precious Four elephants rescued from Rambo Circus have been ordered to go back and resume a life in chains. On behalf of these four elephants. I feel great outrage on this miscarriage of justice. These four elephants, who have survived decades of cruelty, were finally allowed a few weeks of freedom and peace after their rescue. For the first time they received veterinary care, baths, and nutritious food. Nothing could be more brutal and cruel than sending these elephants back to a life of misery and toil in the circus. For such cruelty to prevail in India — the land of ahimsa and compassion — would be seen as shameful internationally.
I implore you to use your authority under Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 and other relevant laws to take action on behalf of the Precious Four elephants. On behalf of Lord Ganesh, please show mercy.
Sincerely,
NAME, COUNTRY, DATE

A Circus World trainer was caught on video yelling profanity and violently jabbing an elephant with a bullhook. Now, Circus World has added big cats to its cruel lineup.
Video link –
Circus World in Baraboo, Wisconsin, insists on hosting cruel and archaic elephant acts and rides and has contracted with the notorious Carson & Barnes Circus again in 2016. This circus employs elephant handler Habib Omar, who is presenting elephants at Circus World all summer.
And the facility has decided to exploit tigers this year, too. Join PETA in letting Circus World know that these cruel animal acts have got to go.
Carson & Barnes Circus‘ appalling history of abusing elephants and endangering the public spans decades. It was Carson & Barnes that supplied the elephants who escaped and ran amok for nearly an hour at the Moolah Shrine Circus in 2014, an incident that prompted the U.S. Department of Agriculture to issue a $16,000 fine to Carson & Barnes. The circus’s head elephant trainer, Tim Frisco, was caught on video viciously attacking terrified elephants with a bullhook and shocking them with electric prods. Frisco can be heard instructing others to sink the bullhook into the animals’ flesh and twist it until they scream in pain.
In what resembles a juvenile act of defiance in response to the public’s disdain for circuses’ cruelty to animals, Circus World is taking an even bigger step backward this year by exploiting tigers in its shows as well. Big cats used in circus-style performances endure lives of abuse, neglect, deprivation, and confinement. They are forced to live in virtually barren cages that can’t come close to the vast, dense forests that they would roam in the wild. Many are forced to eat, drink, sleep, defecate, and urinate all in the same small space and are only let out for training or performances. During training, these beautiful cats are often dragged by heavy chains or ropes around their necks and hit with sticks, poles, and whips.
Speak up for animals now by urging Circus World to get with the times and end cruel, archaic animal acts once and for all!
Help Libby!

“If … we’d been running a videotape … of the times I struck this animal … PETA would burn this place to the ground.”
A PETA eyewitness has caught the owner of the tiger used in Life of Pi, Bowmanville Zoological Park owner Michael Hackenberger, on video viciously whipping another Siberian tiger named Uno approximately 20 times in a row during a savage training session. The young tiger was so traumatized that he involuntarily emptied his anal sacs, a fear response in big cats. “I got a bit angry there,” Hackenberger later admitted.

Dear Mark,
Ever wonder how they get tigers to perform on cue?

“To allow wild animals to be used in circuses is to ignore the calls of the 94% of respondents to the 2010 public consultation on this matter, to dismiss the reams of evidence and opinion published in Hansard, and to overlook the outcome of dozens of hours of parliamentary debate, dating back to 2005 and earlier; all of which clearly demonstrate the overwhelming support for a ban on all wild animals in travelling circuses”
Ok, so you have yet another go at the clowns led by chief clown David Cameron MP; this is what you get – Demo, Houses of Parliament, London, 16/9/15:
David Cameron always promises one thing and then always goes down a completely different path.
