ALBERTON – The RECORD managed to get in contact with the circus representatives and received their side as follows:
Jane Boswell said: “The community of Alberton are very supportive and they enjoy the show.”
“We are a small family-run business that is a soft target for animal rights activists, who further their cause by showing passing traffic pictures downloaded from the internet (not our animals), and we have been well supported by the Alberton community and we will continue to provide family entertainment to our South African public,” said Georgina Boswell.
Smaragda Louw from Beauty without cruelty, which operates as an animal rights organisation, focuses on animal exploitation.
The organisation and members of communities will be protesting at General Alberts Park, Swartkoppies Road from 13:00 until 15:00.
