Dates: August 10-20, 2023

Venues:  Des Moines, Iowa

Hey all you cool cats and kittens,

I hope this message finds you well and filled with the same compassion for our fellow creatures that drives me to reach out to you today. I am writing to bring your attention to an urgent matter that demands our collective action: the scheduled performances of the Brunon Blaszik’s live tiger acts in the next few days.

As advocates for animal welfare, we understand the profound importance of respecting and protecting wildlife. Tigers, in particular, are majestic beings that deserve our unwavering support and defense. Unfortunately, circuses that exploit animals for entertainment continue to perpetuate a cruel and outdated practice that subjects these magnificent creatures to lives of captivity, confinement, and unnecessary suffering.

We have an opportunity to make a difference by voicing our concerns and urging the decision makers at the venues hosting the Loomis Brother's Circus to reconsider their involvement with this exploitative spectacle. Together, we can send a clear message that our community stands against the mistreatment and exploitation of animals for entertainment purposes.

I kindly ask you to take a few moments of your time to contact the decision makers at the following venues with the single click of a button and filling in your contact info.

Express your heartfelt concerns in a polite and respectful manner, emphasizing that allowing tiger acts in circuses contradicts the principles of compassion and ethical treatment of animals. It’s even more powerful if you share your personal reasons for opposing the exploitation of tigers and highlight the growing public sentiment against such practices.

Encourage the decision makers to consider alternative entertainment options that do not involve animal acts, emphasizing that cruelty-free circuses can still provide enjoyable experiences for families. Suggest the inclusion of acrobatic performances, aerial artists, or theatrical shows that celebrate human talent without compromising animal welfare.

Remember, our collective voices can make a significant impact. By coming together and expressing our shared values, we can help protect tigers from further exploitation and contribute to a more compassionate world.

Thank you for your dedication to the well-being of animals and for taking the time to speak out against the use of live tigers in circuses. Please consider sharing this message with other animal lovers in our community, amplifying our call to action.

For the cats, Carole Baskin
