Chairman Larry Schoen [email protected] 208-788-5500 ext.1124 Commissioner Jacob Greenberg [email protected] 208-788-5500 ext. 1176 Commissioner Angenie McCleary [email protected] 208-788-5500, ext. 1173 Please use your own words, and keep your message short and polite, but you may want to include one or more of these facts: Studies show that circuses cannot meet the physical or behavioral needs of wild animals. Animals are confined in small spaces, deprived of physical and social needs, spending excessive amounts of time shut in trailers and train cars. These animals are often seen behaving abnormally; rocking, swaying and pacing, all indicating that they are in distress and not coping with their environment. Video evidence has shown how these animals are forced to perform tricks through physical violence, fear and intimidation. Please also consider sending a donation today and help ADI continue to expose the suffering of circus animals and campaigning for change. Thank you for taking action!
