Belle Vue Ban Bobby Roberts - Hit the Other Venues

Kitty's Wonders | 07.04.2011 12:57 | Animal Liberation | Liverpool | Sheffield

SHUT DOWN BOBBY ROBERTS!



Bobby Roberts Circus were supposed to be heading from their current venue in Leigh, nr Manchester, to Belle Vue Stadium in the early hours of Monday morning. Instead, they'll be spending more money they cannot afford desperately trying to arrange a new venue, following today's news that Belle Vue Stadium don't want anything to do with the Roberts family's perverse venture.

This is one of many venues that have cancelled performances following the expose of Bobby Roberts Circus staff beating and abusing animals, including the infamouse Anne the Elephant. Despite claims that these were isolated incidents, horses have previously dropped dead in the ring in recent years and been documented as underweight.

Moira Roberts claims that custom has gone down 99% as a result!

So, what are we waiting for? The show must not go on!

The following four venues have hosted Bobby Roberts Circus in recent years, please contact them and ask that they do not allow their land to be used by the animal circus again:

I hear that after the World Day march in Manchester hundreds are going to split off and hit Bobby Roberts.

Lets hope the land owners are prepared.
