National Mobilization LAV 3, 4 and 5 December 2010

This year, LAV (Anti-Vivisection League) decided to mobilize all over the country for the usual pre-Christmas campaign : this year's topic will be the shameful exploitation of animals in circuses. The meeting of the shareholders inter
LAV, held in Milan on November 7 last year, there were alarming: there are also many exotic animals in circuses held Italian (something like 2,000 copies, but the estimate is approximate, since the circus families are reluctant to report reliable data: the animals are leased, transferred from one circus to another and traded throughout Europe, so it is not possible to take an actual count) under less than appropriate to their nature .
fact spend much of their lives locked in cages and narrow conteiner free to leave their prisons only when forced to perform (exercises for them completely unnatural and dangerous to the physical and mental health of the animal), facts reside in countries with climates very different from those of their areas of origin : how often, if you coming to visit after the show the "animal park" a circus, happen to see zebras and camels with their legs in the snow? The big cats and animals from hot countries suffer the rigors of our winters, but the circuses concentrate their activities in the coldest months of the year.

Training methods also are particularly inhumane: the training, in fact, is (as we do believe the circus in television interviews and radio) to teach the animals given year, but to break the natural instinct of rebellion. With violent and coercive means, schools training lions, tigers and elephants are trained to fear the man . Their openness to learning in the face of humiliating exercises is not only a consequence of this first phase of pain and suffering to animals.


Against this background, is easy to understand how and when the circus is a cruel spectacle , to avoid and to protest as a vehicle for violence against innocent animals and element strongly negative educational impact for children, assisting you, they learn to treat animals (and thus the weakest) as "toys" to use and bend to your liking . The national campaign

LAV We want a human circus Banquet will take place through information placed in all major Italian cities as of 3 December.
the tables will be possible to sign the appropriate petition and contribute to the fundraiser by purchasing one of the pendants are made with materials from the trade fair specifically for the LAV (price: 10 €).

As for the province of Alessandria, I remind everyone that the provincial LAV has organized a photographic exhibition in Castelnuovo Scrivia Innocent prisoners man, dedicated to the exploitation of animals in circuses: you will find information and contacts on the site of Alexandria LAV.

Finally, as far as my modest voluntary activities, which I like to keep informed my friends and readers, can tell you that Mara, Chris and I would place the table devoted to the campaign want a circus, as always in human Casale Monferrato , in Rome, on days 11 and 12 December (afternoon). See you there!
