More than 22,000 RED CARDS demand: No wild animals in the circus

Dear Jill, Our Stop it! Campaign got off to a great start: After only three weeks we had already received more than 20,000 RED CARDS. The website www.vier-pfoten.org/stop-it has been very busy. Over 200 portraits and statements have been uploaded to the picture gallery, and almost 50 photos and 10 video clips document how wild animals live in European circuses. Thank you very much for your support!Next step - 40,000 RED CARDS on World Animal DayWorld Animal Day is celebrated on October 4th. We want the suffering of animals in circuses to be a main topic on the day. Help us! We would like to collect 40,000 RED CARDS before World Animal Day:- Send a RED CARD to the responsible politicians- If you have sent a RED CARD already, tell your friends about the campaign and send an e-card - Show your face and send us your Stop it! photo Video clip “Hippo in Tub”Watch the clip “Hippo in Tub”: It shows the sad reality of a hippo in a famous European circus. The animal suffers being isolated in a tiny cage with a small amount of water.In the wild, hippos live in groups, mostly in the rivers and lakes of the African savannah where they also roam across large areas of land. In their search for food they cover up to 30 km per day. A little cage can never be a substitute for this. Thank you for your support! Your FOUR PAWS team Watch the clip!
