#Repost from the Totally Awesome Conservationist at... @animal_defenders_international @download.ins --- GOOD NEWS – Colorado’s Traveling Animal Protection Act (SB21-135) has been signed into law banning almost all traveling shows with wild animals in the state. Colorado joins New Jersey, Hawaii, and California with bans. Our thanks to the bill sponsors, Senators Ginal and Zenzinger, and Representatives Duran and Froelich, ADI local supporters, Colorado Voters for Animals, and Animal-Free Circus Colorado in getting this legislation passed. Disappointingly, a late amendment which ADI opposed, exempts county fairs. We will be asking supporters to write to county fair boards to ask them not to book animal circuses. The only way to end the suffering of wild animals in circuses in every state, and avoid potential loopholes is the federal bill the Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act (TEAPSPA). There is a NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION ON MAY 19TH across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, calling FOR THE REINTRODUCTION OF TEAPSPA. #Colorado #circusban #stopcircussuffering #animalsarenotentertainment #wildanimals #animalprotection #TEAPSPA #animalcircus #ADI #AnimalDefendersInternational (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO9R9rUhm2N/?igshid=1jllrjou7hwmm

Credit to @animal_defenders_international : When ADI rescued tigers Max, Kimba and Simba from a Guatemala circus, the race was on to find their forever home. Big Cat Rescue of Florida stepped up, pledging to sponsor the rescue of these three beautiful boys, covering the costs of their food and care at the ADI Temporary Rescue Center and their flight out of Guatemala. Watch the story of their journey to their new home. Thank you, Big Cat Rescue! . Now, we need YOUR help to get the remaining 17 lions and tigers out of Guatemala to the new ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, South Africa! Help ADI get these animals to safety. Tigers Itza, Sombra, Lupe, Bimbi, the cubs, Kumal, Sasha, Luna, Jade, Sun and Moon, and lions Tomas, Sasha, Kimba, Tanya and Tarzan are waiting for their turn to go home – and we need to move them before the end of the year.

Festival Way Kambas merupakan agenda wisata tahunan yang digelar Pemerintah Kabupaten Lampung Timur.Festival ini dilaksanakan pertama kali pada 2016 dan diadakan setiap bulan November dipusatkan di Taman Nasional Way Kambas.Festival ini selalu melibatkan satwa Gajah baik sebagai bagian dari atraksi/sirkus Gajah atau Gajah tunggangan.Berdasarkan hasil dokumentasi milik Movement to End Animal Circus pada festival tahun 2017 dan 2018,nampak Gajah tersebut melakukan atraksi yang bukan merupakan perilaku alaminya.Juga bisa dilihat kondisi kepala Gajah yang mengalami luka-luka sebagai akibat bersinggungan dengan benda tajam.Animal Stories Indonesia tidak menentang Festival Way Kambas, namun kami menghimbau kepada pihak terkait untuk tidak menyajikan atraksi yang mengandung unsur eksploitasi dan penyiksaan terhadap satwa Gajah.Mungkin atraksi tersebut bisa diganti dengan melihat atau mengamati perilaku Gajah di habitatnya mengingat Taman Nasional Way Kambas ini memiliki cakupan wilayah yang luas dan masih banyak satwa Gajah yang hidup di habitatnya. Mari kita selenggarakan Festival Way Kambas 2019 ini dengan konten yang bersifat edukatif yang jauh dari unsur exploitasi & penyiksaan satwa,sehingga festival ini dapat meningkatkan kecintaan dan kepedulian masyarakat tentang satwa Gajah yang populasinya kian menurun. Gajah adalah hewan yang cerdas,namun bukan berarti kecedasannya harus dieksploitasi demi kesenangan manusia semata. Salam Lestari.Tetap Selamatkan Satwa Indonesia.

Reposted from @animal_defenders_international - ADI undercover footage caught Trunks and Humps presenter Mike Swain viciously shocking, hooking and beating elephant Krissy. The abuse bringing her to her knees, Swain didn't stop there, kicking poor Krissy in the face as pictured. Despite knowing of this terrible violence, Arizona Renaissance Festival - which opens this weekend - invited Trunks and Humps back. HELP END ELEPHANT RIDES at the Festival, which continues every weekend and Presidents Day through March 31st. Send a polite email to Festival owner Jeff Siegel at [email protected]. Remind him abuse happens out of public view and events across the country are abandoning elephant rides and performances.

😡 This needs to stop! Please share with anyone you know who supports the barbaric circus. These are beautiful innocent sentient beings, please #putyourselfintheirposition #livecompassionately #boycottthecircus Regrann from @jay_nicole_83 - RELENTLESS TRAVEL IN CHAINS. THIS IS THE ROUTE OF GARDEN BROTHERS CIRCUS IN A SINGLE WEEK (part of an 11 month tour). For the next 7 days, with temperatures averaging 47/33, Garden Bros will cover nearly 600 miles; perform 20 times, in 5 states, and force a pair of Carson & Barnes elephants to stand confined in a trailer or on hard, arena surfaces for 146 hours. 15 other animal circuses are touring the US at present, dragging performing animals from town to town in a similar way. The little exercise the elephants get is whilst, controlled by a bullhook, they perform tricks and give rides to children. WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS THIS?
