مطلبی که در ادامه می آید بروشور یکی از گروههای طرفدار محیط زیست است که برای جلوگیری از برگزاری سیرک های حیوانات تلاش می کند. نگاهی به این بروشور بیاندازید و بعد مقایسه کنید این پیام را با کار غیر مسئولانه ای که متولیان دولتی محیط زیست درایران انجام خواهند داد.به راستی ما را چه می شود .به قول شاعر سنگ قبر شکسته امان: هی یاوه یاوه خلایق مستید ومنگ؟ .
Wild animals used in circuses are routinely subjected to months on the road
confined in small,
barren cages. These animals often live in filthy and dilapidated enclosures or
are chained in one position for the majority of the day with no chance to move,
let alone express their full range of natural behaviours or to socialize with
other members of their species.
Eliminating animal exploitation in circuses simply means the increased use of
human performers, not an end to the tradition of circuses.
What You Can Do:
Don't visit animal circuses (unless you are protesting against them).
Contact your local council to find out if it allows animal circuses on its land.
If it does, write a letter asking them to ban animal circuses in your area.
Write a letter to the editor of your local paper, or speak on talk-back radio
about the cruelties involved in animal circuses and why they should be banned.
If there is a circus coming to town...
Tell all your friends and family why you don't agree with animal circuses, and
get as many people aware of the issues as possible—ask them for their support
with a circus protest.
Try and obtain some give-away tickets (allowing you to attend the first
performance), so you can tell the press about what you've seen, and also so the
circus can't say you don't know what you're talking about.
Write a press release with your protest date, place and time (remember to start
the protest well before the performance time), and send out to all local press,
TV and radio.
Spread the word about your protest on relevant blogs and websites, as well as
printing flyers to put in your local shops and on message boards, and ask all of
your friends and family to attend.
Make placards and banners to attract attention, and try to hire animal costumes!
Contact the local police to let them know of your protest (which helps diffuse
potential problems).
On the day of the protest, contact the press by phone, and make sure
photographers have been booked and that a journalist will be present. Also take
a camera with you so you have a record of the protest, and can put the photos
online!
