Summer is here, the heat is here and animals are being crammed into poorly ventilated railroad cars and trucks like sardines while being dragged across the country for circuses.
Imagine how hot it gets inside these “ovens” considering the outside temperature, their own body heat and poor ventilation. These unfortunate animals travel thousands of miles for up to 48 weeks a year to “perform” under the big top — suffering a lifetime of misery to provide minutes of entertainment.
Please consider that these trains and trucks are the animals’ homes and they are stuck there because people buy tickets to see the “cruelest show on Earth.” People who love animals should not go to the circus.
