| Animals
don't want to ride motorcycles, wear costumes, walk tightropes,
or jump through rings of fire. Sadly, they are forced to perform
these difficult and often confusing feats because they fear an
even worse alternative. Trainers use whips, metal pipes, bullhooks,
and electric prods to make animals perform demeaning tricks. |

Day after day, month after month, many animals languish in artificial environments with no opportunity to engage in their natural behaviors. Often they develop abnormal behaviorals as ways of coping with captivity. Animals enslaved in circuses, tortured in rodeos, and imprisoned in roadside zoos, marine parks and other entertainment venues are counting on you to speak out for them!
