Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Dear Activist I am writing to you from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, India in the hope that you can help us to help some circus animals who are suffering terribly being kept in confining cages for the past 5 years in a field outside the city of Kolkata. The government of India passed a law in 1998 that 5 animals could no longer perform in circuses, i.e. lions, tigers, monkeys, panthers and bears. The government set up 5 rescue centers for these circus animals. Unfortunately because of bad planning, the number of banned animals in circuses far exceeds the capacity of the rescue centers. Add to that the fact is that circus owners have been fighting to overthrow this ban or get monetary compensation from the government before giving the animals up. The government of some of the states has not supported the ban and so some circuses still have these animals. On top of that, even if we activists get the order to have these animals removed to rescue centers, the state governments do not have the money to pay for their transportation! Till date PETA, India has rescued 43 lions and tigers from 3 circuses and paid for them to be taken to rescue centers across the country. There is one such circus called the Olympic Circus who has 11 tigers, 2 lions, 2 bears and one monkey. They have been kept in cages for the past 5 years, and they are dying of starvation and lack of movement. The circus owners cannot sustain their funds for these animals anymore. After a lot of hard work, we have finally been able to get the order for the animals to be moved to rescue centers. We have enclosed a copy of the letter written to us by the Central Zoo Authority. Unfortunately the state government who need to move these animals do not have any money to make new cages for them and have approached us for help. The old cages are all decript and falling apart. I am attaching an article on the condition of the circus animals outside Kolkata. The problem is that this is going to cost a lot of money - there are a total of 13 cages to be made - 11 for the tigers and 2 for the lions. We have been told that each cage is going to cost Rs. 27000 each. We have already raised money for 5 but still need the rest of the amount. As we are paying for the cages, they will belong to us and hence we will be able to use the cages in the future when we need to rescue and relocate. We are a charitable organization and it is a large amount for us to raise so fast. Once the cages are ordered, it will take at least 14 to 20 days for them to be ready and every day of delay is another day of suffering for these animals.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Dear Jayasimha, CUPA has been keeping track of these circus animals and I wish to share some information regarding their possible transport to rescue ctrs. BornFree rep. Tony Wiles was in Bangalore recently and we had a discussion reg. this issue. It seems they have some 5 or 6 travel cages for tigers, which had been used to bring their tigers to India. They could possibly have these repaired. I think you should get in touch with Tony and co-ordinate matters. Also, instead of making 13 cages, let 2 trips be done. I think transport may be cheaper than having cages manufactured. Also, Karthik of Wildlife SOS may be able to help with the bears and i'm sure the monkeys can be housed in a local shelter in Calcutta. Hope this helps ........ regards, suparna. ---- aapn 06/30/05 18:42:20 aapn Re: PETA India -- Needs your Help You can contact Animal Welfare Board of India, Chennai as it can pay for transportation/Rescue.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Dear friends, Apart from the good suggestions provided by my friends I would like to add fervently that if the order is in our favour then it is under the purview of The Forest Department of the concerned States to take the animals in question in their fold and as you know the circus animals have five centres in India named Animal Rescue Centre and one is in our place also. They are run by The CEntral ZOO Authority. ANd if the conerned State do not comply with the duties laid down as per the GO and Supreme Court Orders then one can write or phone immediately to The Central ZOO Authority. It is not right that they have no money for transportations. It is just that they shirking from their responsibilities and it is for us to show them the laws and papers and get it moving fast. All wild animals have to be dealt with by the Department and use their machinery please. Hope this helps and if you need any more clarifications please let me know.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Dear All, Pardeep is absolutely correct.each State is duty Bound to make proper arrangements for Zoo animals and comply the Directions of CZA and Hon'ble supreme Court. Since the Wild animals are Covered under Wildlife Protection Act and persons having Powers/Honorary Wildlife warden can take Charge of these animals and these can only be shifted from one Place to other by orders of CZA and Chief wildlife warden of the state under intimation to State where these are being shifted.The animals from circus can only be Shifted at the Rescue centres notified by the Government of India at Chennai,Banglore,Hyderabad,Vishakha pattnam and Jaipur. the necessary arrangement to handle the wild animals can only be done by state's Chief wildlife Warden with the help of Zoo Staff and vet/CZA. CZA is Headed by Dr.B.K.Sharma and has Email ID :cza our major Role is to force the authorities to wake up and to coordinate these. Best wishes, Dr.Sandeep K Jain Former Member,Animal Welfare Board of India. & President.People For Animals Ludhiana.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Since the animals are already in cages and have been kept there for many, many months why not the animals be moved in the same cages? Dr. S. Chinny Krishna Blue Cross of India Pradeep Nath [vspcadeep] Friday, July 08, 2005 9:01 AM aapn Re: PETA India -- Needs your Help Dear friends, Apart from the good suggestions provided by my friends I would like to add fervently that if the order is in our favour then it is under the purview of The Forest Department of the concerned States to take the animals in question in their fold and as you know the circus animals have five centres in India named Animal Rescue Centre and one is in our place also. They are run by The CEntral ZOO Authority. ANd if the conerned State do not comply with the duties laid down as per the GO and Supreme Court Orders then one can write or phone immediately to The Central ZOO Authority. It is not right that they have no money for transportations. It is just that they shirking from their responsibilities and it is for us to show them the laws and papers and get it moving fast. All wild animals have to be dealt with by the Department and use their machinery please. Hope this helps and if you need any more clarifications please let me know.

I heard so much credit about your organisation when I was in the Nilgiri Hills last year that I should hate to see it suffer. Perhaps a change of name may be appropriate ?
