Jenny told Bored Panda that, of course, not all circuses are bad. “Now, there are [some] where instead of wild animals, massive holograms inspire the audience. Or even circus shows with no animals at all, relying entirely on human acrobats and clowns. I hope this trend will spread,” she said.
However, even though innovations are making their way into the industry, a lot of establishments continue to organize animal shows. It is not performance in itself that harms creatures. According to Freedom for Animals, a charitable campaign aimed at ending the use of animals for entertainment, circus rides can cover thousands of miles a year, transporting the animals from one location to another in carriers and crates on the back of trucks known as monster carts. “Moving the site every week means that they spend most of the year in temporary housing. Animals may be confined for hours, or even days, in their travel cages with their only rest period either for a limited time in the exercise cage, or for training,” the organization wrote on its website. , or performance. “It is impossible for a mobile animal to provide circus animals with the amenities they need.”
For this sad comedian, Jenny chose a lion but said she speaks on behalf of all the animals that are being abused in order to sell tickets. “It didn’t matter if I showed a lion or an elephant. Wild animals belong freely, they should sleep in the sun, hunt and protect their families. The artist explained that they should not jump through hoops because they would be punished if they refused.”
The artist is all about drawing attention to animal rights – to those who don’t have a voice to speak for themselves but, unfortunately, some people receive a completely different message. This has a lot to do with both publishers and individuals who carelessly reshare their content. “The problem is that many…often don’t share full cartoons with me, only individual pages. They often leave the last page where I describe the problem and share links for more information or donations. Then some people see this and don’t understand the message. They think I’m I enjoy drawing mistreated animals.”
Jenny even started getting hate messages because of this. “They don’t know that I am trying to educate and raise money. But it is not their fault and I can often explain to them what the cartoon is about.” On the other hand, if you want to support the artist and the causes she’s fighting for, consider supporting her on Patreon. Jenny even sets aside 30% of everything she receives to donate to various animal organizations and shelters each month.
