The SAD Lives of Animals With Circus Vazquez

Though they've committed no crime, animals with the circus are held like prisoners. Tigers are kept in cages just big enough to turn around and horses and camels are kept in small stalls on concrete parking lots.

All the animals are forced to eat and sleep where they urinate and defecate. Though born to run free they are never allowed this. Due to the boredom of this severe confinement, tigers are often pacing back and forth – They have gone crazy.

Violence and intimidation are the standard training and handling practices. Whips and other weapons are used to induce pain when the animals do not obey the "trainer." If not for the threat of punishment the animals would never participate in the circus.

La violencia y la intimidación son methodos usados para el entrenamiento y manipulacion. Los latigos y otras armas de violencia son usadas para inducir dolor cuando los animales no obedecen al "entrenador." Si no es par la amenaza y castigo en que mantienen alos animales, ellos nunca participarían en el circo.

While we had leafleters at all the entrances - it's always nice to new faces. If you care about animals and haven't come out to a leafleting please consider joining us at our upcoming leafletings at Ringling Bros in August.

Many patrons did not know Circus Vazquez had animals ... This year Circuz Vazquez had horses, camels, zebras and tigers. We urge people to not support circuses that use animals - and to tell the circus they will not come back until the circus is animal-free.
