Help a lonely hippo in circus

Post Reply New Topic

Hello.
I believe that many autistic people have a passion and compassion for animals as I do, and would like You to help to free the lonely hippo from German circus.
We have found a great place for her in a sanctuary, but circus does not want to release her even if she is not performing.
She lives isolated from other animals (and mostly never met other hippos - and hippos are highly social animals), in a small bath tub with a very limited enclosure.

You can read more about her here: www.freethehippo.de
And sign the petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/908/323/ ... cus-krone/
As well You can write Your personal messages to circus Krone and tell them that You want Poppaea to be free.
In case You live in germany (or the best in Bavaria), You can join events to show Your support, sign postcards and send them directly to circus, etc..
Thank You very much!

I think it's wrong & i signed the petition. That being said I haven't read the story but the circus probably paid alot of money for her & they are hoping that they can get their money's worth out of her. They might be willing to let her go if it was profitable for them or they would at least break even.
