The Northwest Animal Rights Network is a registered non-profit organization.
All donations are tax-deductible.
Circuses Because circuses are often lacking in funds, many animals go without adequate water, food, living quarters, and medical attention for the duration of their annual eleven-month tours. When the animals are relieved from their cages it is either to perform or to train. Circus trainers rely on physical punishment to instill obedience and good showmanship. Some animals are drugged and some have their teeth removed. The AWA does not as yet have any restrictions on training methods.
