Dear fellow animal enthusiasts,

We need your voice and passion to make a real difference for the innocent creatures exploited in Culpepper and Merriweather Circus animal acts! As animal lovers, we cannot sit idly by while wild animals like tigers and lions suffer in the name of entertainment.

These majestic beings are raised and trained within the confines of the circus, subjected to a life of captivity and exploitation.

Let them know that circus acts using wild animals are inherently cruel and have no place in our society.

Together, we can make a powerful statement and put an end to this injustice. Join us in speaking up for the voiceless animals who deserve to live free from exploitation and cruelty. Act now and help us protect their welfare and well-being.

Let your compassion be heard. Fill out the form and reach out to local decision makers today!

For the cats, Carole Baskin

Subject: Circus Acts Are Cruel and No Fun for the Animals

Message:

We heard you are involved in an event that is bringing a circus to perform with big cats but you should know that the Big Cat Public Safety Act was signed into law on 12/20/2022 making it illegal to have contact with big cats AND requiring that big cats be kept at least 15 feet away from the public if they are not behind PERMANENT barriers, such as at a zoo. You should also know that wildcats in performing acts are not trained through positive reinforcement, but rather through beatings, shocking, and deprivation of food and a natural existence. The positive reward training that many circus trainers exhibit is only to deceive the public because no one would support this industry if they knew the truth. Even if they can convince you otherwise, there is no part of being in a traveling road show that is conducive to the health or comfort for an exotic cat. The entire ruse is based upon it being educational or for conservation purposes and it meets neither of those lofty goals either. While you may think it will draw in customers and be entertaining at least, you should know that the era of such ignorance has passed. You will anger far more people than you entertain with such a barbaric relic of the past. We would like you to cancel this show, or your participation in the fair, or at the very least announce that you will no longer have any association with such fairs if they bring in wild cats for display. Please let me know that we can announce to our 3.6 million followers on Facebook and our millions on other social channels that you have chosen to do the right thing for the animals. If you choose otherwise, we will have no other choice than to let our supporters know that we tried to educate you and failed. We will ask them to reach out politely to convince you that the circus is no fun for animals and that people just won't tolerate such abuse any more.
