Circus Protest

Super Circus Spectacular is coming back to Canada and heading to St. Catharines.
They have dogs and horses that they use in their shows.

Why we are here…
While it is true that many domestic animals are incredibly social in comparison to their wild counterparts, they do not choose to participate in the performances, it is expected of them.

Animals suffer invariably as they are forced to perform under extreme conditions. Like exotic animals, domestic animals are trained via methods of negative reinforcement and operant conditioning. These methods involve depriving animals of food and water until they perform and using various methods of pain and fear to gain authority over the animals.

Horses are often trained to stand on their hind legs and walk backward, a trick that is highly dangerous and entirely unnatural. The only reason a horse would perform such a trick is by way of fear or pain.

These are only some of the reasons for protesting the circus.

Animals are not here for us to use. Let’s get the circus out of Niagara.
