"One woman said it's probably going to cost her a divorce but she's going to spend the rest of her life looking for her dog. She will not stop until she finds out what happened to him. She said she had that dog eight years; it's not just a dog, it's family."

When We Organize: WE CAN WIN

Tel-Aviv banned animal circus acts

We are happy to announce that we successfully completed our campaign against animal circus acts, as the Municipality of Tel-Aviv banned animal circus acts. The Mayor of Tel-Aviv, Ron Huldai, instructed the municipality to avoid any future contracts with circuses that use animals of any sort in their shows. This pioneering achievement is a result of an Anonymous for Animal Rights campaign, which included a public campaign (demonstrations, petitions, etc.) as well as political lobby. As far as we know, Tel-Aviv is one of the only cities in the world that banned animal circus acts. We hope that other cities – both in Israel and abroad – will follow Tel-Aviv. Since Tel-Aviv is the center of the Israeli urban life, and international circuses were staying in Tel-Aviv during most of their Israeli tour, the new instruction may influence animal circus acts in the entire country. Wild animal circus acts are already banned all over the country since 1995.

Best wishes,

USAPE officials further want to see the release of Spalding County Animal Shelter's animals pending a pitbull fighting and cruelty case and a court date set for the convicted felon being held for his involvement. He still walks free after more than three years of delays and postponements. Please assist us in writing letters requesting the release of these animals.
