Description
No animal should endure a life of chains, whips, and confinement for human entertainment. The End the Circus of Cruelty campaign is dedicated to eradicating the use of animals in circuses and ensuring a future where all beings live free from exploitation and harm.
The Problem
- Animals in circuses endure a lifetime of inherent abuse, from harsh training, travel, noise, lights, confinement and the inability to express normal behaviour.
- Many countries have already banned animals in circuses, but South Africa continues to lag behind.
- Rescued animals need safe spaces to recover and live the rest of their lives in peace.
Our Vision
A world where no animal is subjected to cruelty for entertainment. Through advocacy and rescue efforts, we aim to end the use of animals in circuses and provide them with a chance to heal and thrive.
What We’re Doing
- Lobbying for legislation to ban the use of animals in circuses across South Africa.
- Educating the public about the cruelty behind the scenes of animal performances.
- Supporting sanctuaries that rescue and rehabilitate animals freed from circuses.
Your donation will help us:
- Fund advocacy campaigns to push for legislative change.
- Support educational programs to raise awareness about the cruelty of animal circuses.
- Provide resources for sanctuaries to care for rescued animals.
Join the movement to end the circus of cruelty. Together, we can ensure a future where animals are no longer exploited for human entertainment.
