Your letter should consist of the following points:
- Circus animals are treated unfairly, they have the right to be protected and treated humanely under the Animal Welfare Act.
- Tigers fear fire, but they are still forced to jump through fire hoops in some circuses and have been burned while doing so.
- Trainers use whips, tight collars, muzzles, electric prods, bullhooks and other painful tools of the trade to force animals to perform.
- 11 months or more a year they travel over long distances in box cars with no climate control; sleeping, eating, and defecating in the same cage.
- During off season animals used in circuses may be housed in small traveling crates. Such confinement has harmful psychological effects on them. Theses effects are often indicated by unnatural behavior such as repeated swaying and pacing.
- Lack of exercise and long hours standing on hard surfaces are major contributors to foot infections and arthritis, the leading causes of death among captive elements.
