PETITION TO THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRAMPTON...
PLEASE STOP CIRCUSES WITH ANIMALS FROM PERFORMING IN THE CITY
LIMITS OF BRAMPTON.
CIRCUSES MAKE ANIMALS PERFORM PAINFUL, UNNATURAL AND
DEMEANING ACTS IN THE NAME OF ENTERTAINMENT AND EXPLOITATION.
THESE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES ARE BEATEN AND ABUSED DAILY WITH NASTY
TRAINING TOOLS
There are hundreds of cases where wild animals have broken free from their abusive
environments, causing massive destruction and killing innocent people.
Animals in the circus are being treated as a tool to get money. It's cruel and inhumane.
We are requesting that the City of Brampton Council Members change the existing by-laws, in regards to the
performing of captive dangerous wild and exotic animals who are brought to our community to do ridiculous
degrading acts in the name of entertainment, for- 2 -Important Reasons
1. Forthe mere Safety of all Residents who come within a close proximity
2. Forthe proper"ethical reason" thatAbuse and ExploitationofanyAnimalisoutrageous, letalonewith ­
"Protected Endangered Animal Species"
In their native homelands, the animalsyou see inCircusesarefree to walkand run,choose lifetime companions,
andraisetheir families. Tragically, theseanimalsareheldcaptive bycircusessuchasTheShrine Circus, orGarden
Brothers, and are forced to perform confusing acts day and night for 50 weeks every year.
In order to get these animals to perform stressful acts, trainers use blow torches, whips, sticks, shocked with
electric prods(taserguns), burnedwithblowtorches,andbeatenwithbullhookswithmetaltipsthatarejabbed
into Elephants sensitive skin on their thighs, behind their ears and jabbed inside their mouths.
The animals endure severe confinement, deprivation, hardship and brutality. Between acts, Elephants are kept
chained uplike bicyclesorconfinedto cramped pens. Tiger, Horses andBearsarestoredincagesthataren't
large enoughforthem toturnaround. Forcedto sit,standandsleepintheirownwaste.
When forced to perform unnatural tricks (standing ontheir heads), Elephants suffer extreme problems. Crushing
their heads, and enduring spinal problems with the severe weight of their bodies on their skull. An Animal is not
meanttobeon its headorbum oreven2 legs, when itweighs, 5,000to7,000lbs. Its bodywas NOTdesignedto
take that pressure in those positions.
Atthe ageof2months Elephant Babiesarecruellytreated and beaten, and beingdraggedaround forcefullyby
their noses.
It is very rare that any of these animals are given desperately needed medical attention. Veterinarians do not
travel with them on a usual routine.
Wild animals are potentially dangerous and perform in front of
audiences with few protective measures.
In the past 2 decades, 21 people (5 of them
Children) have been killed by Captive big Cats in the
United States, and there have been 246 maulings
and 254 escapes.
According to National Geographic... "500 people are killed by elephant
attacks each year"
Elephant Trainers at the Shrine Circuses have been trained by violent and abusive staff members of Barnum and
Bailey Circus. Bullhooks can cause serious, permanent injuries and even death.
There is an endless list of lawsuits against Barnum Bailey and Ringling Brothers and Zerbini and Shrine Circuses
for their abusive handling, and lack of medical care and needless early deaths of their captive prisoners (animals).
"Hooking, and Hitting. Isaw Elephants hit. Isaw Elephants bleed. Isawwhat Icallsystematicdailyabuse," ­
barn keeper Tom Rider who worked for the circus from 1997 -1999.
"Tke greatness ofanation and its moral progress can bejudged by the way ,its
animals are treated" - Ghzndi
When an Elephant,TigerorBearrebelsagainstatrainers physical dominance,trainerscannot protectthemselves­
letalonethe public. What ifitisyour Grandchildwhoisinthe audienceandhappensto beinthe pathwhenit
breaks free from the cruel, bloody whippings and abuse.
Even with"SideShows" wherewildanimals(such asGiraffes, Bears, Elephants,Tigers) arebroughtin for Business
Promotions, (Customer Shopping Incentives) - all itdoes,isshowa lackof respect for innocentcreatures,andis
just an incident waiting to happen.
With every single decision we make, or fail to make, we
influence the world.
Many National, Regional and Local Governments have banned the use of exotic animals in circuses. So we would
be far from the first.
Ifyou enter "ANIMAL CRUELTY AT THE CIRCUS" you will be exposed to 1,790,000 sites (photos and videos) of heart
breaking torture of abuse that should NEVER happen. Howcan any human being in power allow this to continue.
Lets change the laws and do what is right and protect the innocent.
In regards to the performing of captive dangerous wild and exotic animals who are brought to our community to
do ridiculous degrading acts in the name of entertainment. Youcan enact restrictions to protect animals -within
the Animal Welfare Act. The City has the power to Ban Animalsor Weapons (bullhooks), or just simply "Ban
ExoticAnimals listed inScheduleAinyour ByLawandjustmake ita restriction thattheyare notallowed on public
or private land on a permanent or temporary basis".
Lions, Tigers and Elephants are protected endangered species. So why are we then allowing these gorgeous
creatures to be abused daily and exploited for profit in our own City. Ifthese performances are allowed to
continue then what does our ANIMAL WELFARE really stand for.
You have the power to make policy. You have the power to show the rest of Canada that Brampton really wants
to make a difference. Lets walk the talk. Being environmental, "GREEN" means standing up for what is right and
STOPthe "wrong" that is taking place in Brampton.
These beautiful animals do not deserve endless confinement. Being caged -trucked for 1,000s of miles at a time,
weekly, without a break and chained 22 hours a day. End result... These animals are dying 30 years before their
time.
APUBL1C CONSULTATION SHOWED THAT 94.5% OF THE PUBLIC, SUPPORTA
BAN ON ANIMALS IN CIRCUSES
