How cruel are these people. I agree with sam. The animals can't do anything to help so we have to help them. These people need to be mistreated and see how they like it. We need to do something about it. Animals, like us, they only get to live once and they need to have the best time they can have in their life. Save them free or take them to a better sanctuary in england maybe where they will get the love, care and well beings they need. Shame on these people who mistreat them. How could they do that. Meanies!!!!!

Why is our government trading with this country? They may have the largest population but look at how they treat other living things.
We should boycott all trade with these people!

This sort of thing makes me sick.They should ban all this behavior world wide. Those that support this sort of thing will only learn one way.Pull their teeth out, herd them into concrete pens attach electrodes to them and make them jump around.

And what's being done about this? As a world of people/humans we should be standing up for the rights of creatures that don't have the ability to stand up for themselves. I would really love to pull the circus guys teeth out and see how he feels with the nerve endings exposed.
