AIBU to ask you all to please, please sign and share this petition about using cats as entertainment in British circuses?

www.change.org/p/defra-animal-welfare-department-stop-zippos-circus-using-cats-as-entertainment

As a cat owner (and huge animal lover), I was really shocked and upset by this. (No doubt most of you have pets - cats or otherwise - and are also animal lovers!)

Thank you very much!

(Don't put anything in 'Petitions' that you want seen, its a bloody difficult enough topic to find and things jusy go there)

I hope you don't mind me putting some facts in here with regard to these cats?

They are all rescue cats from French slums.

Domestic cats. Not scary but oh so cute. These kitties are all rescue cats from France where the Borrisov circus family found one cat in a terrible state and nursed him back to health before adopting more so he had company. Circus performing is their life so the cats joined in.
Anyone with a cat will know if they don’t want to do something they won’t so there’s no cruelty here. I’ve read a lot of judgmental comments lately from people who haven’t seen the show and have decided the cats must be forced to do the act. Just try and ‘force’ a cat to catch a piece of string, or jump onto your lap when they don’t want to, and you’ll know cats are not that easily coerced.
I was really pleased to see this article on Buzzfeedwhere the journalist came to find out for herself more about these cats. She found “27 former malnourished street cats who have become pampered performers at Britain’s biggest circus”.

BTW _ the cast were in the 2016 line up, not the 2017. Zippo changes its acts every year.
