if you oppose Animals in entertainment then that is your opinion and you are entitled to it, but please don't support ADI or CAPS, these are the UKIP of the animal welfare world, they take a slight truth and manipulate it to fit their agenda, they take photos and crop them and edit them, even photoshop them, so that they appear to show something that wasn't actually the way it was. The tiger in the small cage that is shown in the above CAPS link, isn't even in this country, so wouldn't be affected by a UK ban, but CAPS doesn't let the truth get in the way of a good protest. I'm against animal cruelty as much as the next person but in my personal opinion, trained Animal's in entertainment isn't cruel if done to the standards set by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. DEFRA are the experts, who have the facts, both scientific and research based, and if they grant a license then who are we to argue.
Plus says thanks I would say 70% of the public tooted in support. 25% were nonchalant and 5% gave the Vs, the swivvels and the Winker sign.
On just this Watch- Saturday Evening ( protests start an hour before performances every day)a car load and several people on foot turned away. No pressure/ intimidation- just education.
We counted 14 cars who arrived- 60 peeps at most. LOL. Several people on foot. The maximum people at tonights show were 80- hardly 'bursting at the seams via demand' as reported.
And now all the animals will go hungry through lack of money. Hope you are going to provide food for the starving animals. You have now caused cruelty to the animals yourselves.

Really? Give your head a wobble. The Jolly staff should cut back their own food, funny how you assume that they would cut back on their cash-cows food.
No money coming in, cant afford to feed the animals. Time to get them put down all because you like to protest and get your picture taken. That is sad.

You making this personal? I suggest you pm me, got no interest in engaging with you on a public level. Goodnight.
I've attended this circus twice whilst it's been in Upton, 1 night there wasn't a protest at all, the 2nd time there was a lot of intimidation from the protestors seen, being approached by a mob is intimidating enough for most people, and the wording they were using to "educate" people was aggressive in its self "Do YOU want to be responsible for this animal living a miserable life and being mistreated" Unfortunately the protestors are educating people to their opinion and not to the facts, the scientific research or the truth.
The truth is, these animals should be in their natural habitat that allows them to roam thousands of square miles, should they wish to do so. What possible scientific research can anyone come up with that concludes being caged and captive equates to having their natural freedom.
God help us, Come yourself, Don't send Jesus, This is no place for children.
The scientific research concluded that if kept at a certain standard or better that the animals in a traveling circus suffered no distress, hence the introduction of legislation, regulations and licensing, all over seen by DEFRA, who are the government experts in this field.
