What is the global perspective of this issue?

This topic has never been authorized or endorsed, and on the contrary, it has sparked a
significant amount of dispute. Even so, animal entertainment is still practiced in many places
of the world. Not only that, but there are still numerous illegal circuses and animal breeding
operations functioning. Regardless, when we look at it from a variety of angles, we can see
that the majority of people are against this labor and want it to be abolished.

Supporting evidence: Today, there are still circuses that travel across the country with
animals. Loomis Bros Circus, Jordan World, Carden International, Royal Hanneford, and
Carson & Barnes are among these circuses.

Problem Solving
What solutions can help the problem in your chosen country?
1. Businesses that benefit from animal abuse should be boycotted. Avoid movies and TV
shows that involve live animals.
2. The only approach to change hearts, thoughts, and behaviors is to educate others
about why animal circuses are inhumane. This is especially crucial for children, since
they will develop a sense of what is right and wrong when it comes to animal
exploitation and cruelty as they grow older.

What will you do personally?

1. Instead of going to zoos, marine parks, or circuses, go to an animal sanctuary.

2. Harms and hazards are communicated through community projects.
