INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
We, the undersigned, support the BAN ON THE USE OF ANIMALS IN CIRCUSES, for the following reasons:
We should remember that the damage and violence to which animals are subjected, a situation inherent to the activity of travelling circuses, are practices that are unacceptable and totally against our Constitution (art. 225, § 1, VII) and the Law of Environmental Crimes (Law 9605 / 98, art. 32). Animal exploitation which undermines sentient beings to mere objects for the amusement of others, subjecting them to all sorts of violence, both physical and mental, must be banned in agreement of environmental education of humanity, animal rights and the pursuit of a culture of non-violence and respect for life.
For all these reasons we ask the Honourable Federal Deputies and Senators to FULLY ENDORSE THE BILL THAT SUBSTITUTES LAW N. 7291 2006.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
