It is up to the public to stop attending these theatrical, and aquatic shows, and circuses with wild animals. The rhetoric about how the animals are happy and well cared for are lies. Don't be swayed by them. The money behind these shows is huge; there is nothing good about them. ↗

Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself. ↗
