Animals

ACTION
Ringling Bros. closing its doors was a major victory for the animals. But
now, Ringling parent company Feld Entertainment has applied to ship eight of
the tigers used by Ringling circus to Munich, Germany. We must act now to
stop this!
On Friday, May 26, 2017, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service posted an
application from Feld to re-export the tigers to their owner and former
Ringling head trainer Alexander Lacey, care of Zirkus Krone.

INFORMATION
In Munich, just like at Ringling Bros., wild and exotic animals are
forced to travel from town to town performing demeaning and unnatural tricks
for human entertainment. Lacey worked for Zirkus Krone before Ringling, and
now it seems he wants to return there with his captive tigers. But life at
Zirkus Krone will be no better than at Ringling for these majestic animals.
LCA has reached out to U.S. sanctuaries and confirmed that there are
good homes waiting for the tigers if we can stop the export!
It is usually illegal to export endangered animals like tigers. But in
the application, Feld claims that shipping these majestic cats to another
circus will somehow “enhance the propagation or survival of the species;”
and because the government is disturbingly lax about this requirement, Feld
could get away with this deceit.
Fortunately, the tigers' fates are not yet sealed. U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service has opened Ringling's application up to public comments, and will
accept them thru June 26, 2017.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
