They do not have laws to protect
any animals
apparently circus therefore
can have any animals any at all
which the authorities seem to ignore
Hippo’s for example from Africa
from lakes so a water borne soul
can be imported into this republic
for its purpose to take on a role
of being a circus performer
how really can it ever be
that a large water beast
to be used as a feast
for the eyes of an audience, we
have to experience good sense
and try
to do what is fair in our lives
and importing hippo’s from African Lakes
to perform in a circus
well why?
would anyone stoop to this level
its sick in so many ways, they
they supposedly train them to stand
on their hind legs and walk
in the most laboured way
how could they possibly keep them
this is pure torture and they
are then doing tricks with balls on their snouts
someone must stand up and say
this is not what we ought to be doing
wild feral animals need
some kind of protection against
humans who exploit them
purely for their own greed
a wild feral animal
it does not operate
in this way without torture
I am sure
and people who flock to this circus in Minsk
should really not enter that door
they do have to realise animals need
to be where they were in fact sent
to live out their wild lives in their own domain
for that was, Nature’s intent
Circus life isn’t a place in fact where
animals ever should be
a travelling show
is not where animals go
and it ‘s wrong for us ever to see
Belarus , does have to realise
Hippo’s and others now must
be kept out of circus there has to be law
passed now thats really more just
