To the US Fish & Wildlife Service:

We urge you to let the Ringling Brothers Circus lions, tigers, and leopards live out their lives in peace at a sanctuary. Now that the infamous circus has finally shut down, don't ship these animals away to yet another circus, where they will continue to endure abuse.

End the torture

When Ringling Brothers Circus shut its doors earlier this year, it was the end of an era of extreme abuse and suffering for lions, tigers, and leopards that had been forced to perform for years. But, instead of granting these animals the peace to roam free in sanctuaries, they’re trying to export them to yet another circus in Germany, where they will no doubt be subject to the same training by punishment tactics. Unless we step in now!

This is only possibleif the US Fish & Wildlife Service approves their export permit. That’s only supposed to happen if exporting “enhances the survival of the species,” but USFW has a history of rubber-stamping approvals. And that’s where we come in.

There are 17 days left in a public comment period. We can turn this bureaucratic decision into a massive public controversy -- and grant the tigers their freedom at last. Add your name and forward this email to friends and family.
