Circus Protest In El
Salvador
SAN SALVADOR - Members of the group
ecoveg.net held a protest on Saturday
against circuses and the use of wild animals
in captivity. One of the protesters from
ecoveg.net said that they wanted to make
people, especially children, aware that
animals should freely and in their natural
environment.
On January the 9th, in San Salvador a group
of protesters held a demonstration across a
circus.
Protesters claimed that captive animals in
circus are mistreated and they said that a
circus is not the natural environment for
animals.
During the protest, a representative from
the circus invited some of the protesters to
come in to the circus to see how animals are
treated. After several minutes being in
there, one of the protester said that
animals were being fed at that moment and
there was no sign of mistreat while they
were inside.” Though, animals are still in
cages”, he said.
Photos inside the circus were not allowed.
One of the protesters from ecoveg.net said
that they want to make people, especially
children, aware of animals must live in
freedom, in their natural environment, not
in cages. They claim “circus, yes, but no
animals”.
Protesters said “there are circuses where
animals are not part of the show and in many
countries the use of animals in circuses is
banned”. Protesters said they will send a
letter to the Congress of El Salvador asking
for a special legislation to ban the use of
animals in circuses.
