They are shackled and isolated, experience terrible isolation and are forced to perform degrading and confusing stunts.<\/p>\n<p>Although Parliament instructed the Government to introduce a ban on wild animals in circuses last summer, the Government has continued to drag its heels and allow animals to suffer in circuses.<\/p>\n<p>Ashleigh and Pudsey join all major animal welfare groups, veterinary bodies and the majority of the British public in calling for a ban on wild animals in circuses.<\/p>\n<p>If the pair&#8217;s modelling efforts in the ad have convinced you to support the cause, then you can help by writing to Prime Minister David Cameron here and urging him to act upon the direction of Parliament and implement a full and permanent ban on the use of animals in circuses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that the Talent Management bloggers were onto something back in April when we asked Are Pet Models Becoming The New Supermodels?
