 The company Lush together with the Centre to protect the rights of animals "Vita" start a campaign against cruelty to animals in circuses. Through this campaign Lush wants to inform the public about the suffering of animals in the circus, the futility and immorality use of animals in the circus, the horrors of the industry.
"Circus - a spectacle that will surely be interesting. However, most people do not even know what the price of this entertainment. Because animals can not be in the circus voluntarily; to be in the circus animal - it means forever losing freedom. For example, in a traveling circus tent of animals transported in sweltering, unventilated trailer. To avoid problems with the toilet, they are deprived of food and water. Many animals look like walking skeletons covered with skin. We are for the circus, but without animals "
