Watch "The Performance" – and help Animals Asia stop the
cruelty
Dear Sheila,
Over the past 12 months, our Chinese investigative team and I have
visited 13 zoos and safari parks around China, documenting the abuse and
neglect of wild and endangered animals. Now with the help of Environment
Films, we have created a short documentary from the footage taken at
these facilities.
With music by Moby and narration by former hostage Terry Waite MBE, “The
Performance” is a moving account of the horrible abuse suffered by
animals forced to perform for the entertainment of people. Please watch
"The Performance" and send the link to your family and friends – we
need to spread the message far and wide that animals in China’s zoos
need our help. The barbaric treatment of animals during these
circus-style performances and the appalling living conditions they are
forced to endure is truly heartbreaking.
Tigers and lions with their teeth and claws ripped out and bears with
metal rings through their noses, forced to ride motorbikes, perform
acrobatics and "box" each other while being beaten with sticks and
punched; elephants forced to stand on their heads and walk on their back
legs, tigers and bears made to ride on the back of horses, and monkeys
forced into riding bicycles are all common at zoos and safari parks
across the country.
Once the performance ends the cruelty continues with animals housed in
tiny cages, alone and in the dark, with little food and water. Please
read more in our
full report.
Animals Asia is delighted to have partnered with the independent
production company, Environment Films www.environmentfilm s.org, to
produce "The Performance" from our footage of the appalling animal
performances we filmed earlier this year. The film documents the
humiliation of the tricks, the cruel treatment of the animals, and the
appalling living conditions these animals endure throughout their
miserable lives. To view the film, click BUTTON:
Animals Asia continues to work towards a day when people in China turn
their backs on this barbaric animal cruelty and animals will no longer
suffer in the name of entertainment. Your continued support will help us
reach this goal. Please click on the button below and help us end this
cruelty.
Thank you for your continued support for the animals of Asia.
