Sample Letter
"Dear Sir / Madam, The Wildlife Park at Cricket St Thomas
I am disgusted your company are hosting The Legend of Chimera, otherwise known as Spirit of the Horse, on your land between the 6th and 9th of September. Animal circuses are cruel and unnecessary.
Touring acts do not fulfil the natural needs of animals involved, who often show symptoms of mental illnesses because of lack of stimulation amongst other factors.
The RSPCA is "opposed to the use of animals in circuses", which is why the public recognise the unnecessary suffering caused to these animals whilst touring.
Please end your support for Spirit of the Horse, by banning it from your land,

- "The RSPCA is opposed to the use of animals in circuses"
- Moving location each week for these animals means they spend most of the year in temporary accommodation.
- After being unloaded from their horse boxes or transporters they are often confined in tents, separated from their companions by stalls.
- The horses and ponies are gregarious animals - extremely social, although circus staff do not allow socialising or mutual grooming.
- Often horses will be tethered or kept in tiny pens for the entire time they are not performing or rehearsing.
- If exercise enclosures are provided, these are generally very small - it is unlikely a horse would gallop or really exercise in one.
- The Legend of Chimera, previously known as 'Spirit of the Horse' is organised by; Equestrian Theatre Ltd.
- Persuade people to boycott the animal circus!
4] Politely contact Bourne Leisure and tell them to STOP SUPPORTING ANIMAL CIRCUSES.
It has come to our attention that Bourne Leisure, owners of Butlins, Haven Holidays & Warner Breaks, are the parent company responsible for this cruelty.
Until Bourne Leisure learn that circus animals go through immense suffering, by agreeing to a policy to end hosting their performances, please tell them that they do not want to support this company anymore.
Please politely email Bourne Leisure and tell them that animal circuses aren't worth the hassel.
By acting against those who host these events, you will be ensuring that Spirit of the Horse is unlikely to ever return there again.
Sample Letter
Dear Sir / Madam, Bourne Leisure
I am disgusted to hear that your company are hosting The Legend of Chimera (otherwise known as Spirit of the Horse) at Cricket St Thomas between the 6th and 9th of September, a Wildlife Park owned by Bourne Leisure. Animal circuses are cruel and unnecessary.
Touring acts do not fulfil the natural needs of animals involved, who often show symptoms of mental illnesses because of lack of stimulation amongst other factors.
The RSPCA is "opposed to the use of animals in circuses", which is why the public recognise the unnecessary suffering caused to these animals whilst touring.
As employees, representatives and subsidies of Bourne Leisure, please voice your concerns, to end your company's support in this cruel excuse for entertainment.
