SHAME on Chorley Council for allowing an animal circus to feature within its boundaries.
Whether wild or domestic, animals in circuses have to perform demeaning tricks, and are transported from town to town and kept confined for hours on end.
Wild animals are kept in unnatural conditions, unable to display their natural behaviour patterns.
There is nothing educational about seeing animals in a circus.
In the wild elephants do not walk across podiums and tigers do not jump through hoops.
Circuses teach a lack of respect for animals.
Please think about it -- is one afternoon or night out for you worth all the chains, loneliness and misery for them?
