Putor Show<\/p><\/div>\n
By Sunita Mager – Though the<\/span> traditional Cambodian circus <\/a>art<\/span> carved on ancient temples within the country point to the usage of animals during their shows, modern circus arts in Cambodia has taken a huge step away from involving any animals in their circus acts.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Phare is one of a number of exciting and innovative circus productions that dazzle audiences worldwide with <\/span>t<\/span>alented human trapeze artists, jugglers, contortionists, acrobats, fire-eaters, musicians, dancers, and artists – all without involving animals. But <\/span>still, thousands of animals are being forced to perform dangerous stunts, are exploited to traveling circuses and are cruelly treated.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s important to know that the animals that you see do not jump through hoops or balance on rope because they want to and think it\u2019s fun. They do this out of fear of what will happen if they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n Additionally, most of the circus animals have horrible living conditions:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But we are heading into a bright future<\/strong><\/p>\n Public demand for animal and cruelty-free circus productions is strongly on the rise. The last 20 years has brought strict regulations as well as changing public opinions thanks to the help of International organisations. <\/span>Born Free Foundation<\/a>, <\/span>PETA <\/a> and Animal Allies Abroad <\/span>for example, are taking a stand and actively creating awareness to end animal abuse – which means that we can look into a bright future and see circuses moving more and more to non-animal performances. Soon performing animal acts will be a blast from the past!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Steps for the conservation of wildlife animals in Cambodia are being made too. We have some pretty unique wild animals here in Cambodia. The <\/span>Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity (ACCB<\/a>)<\/span>, is the first nature conservation center in the country that contributes to the conservation of wild animals and biodiversity.<\/span><\/p>\n So, the next time you visit Phare, The Cambodian Circus or any other circus, just remember that <\/span>animal-free circuses have all the thrills, chills, and fun that you expect at the big top\u2014Plus at Phare, you can even meet the acrobats after the show. <\/span><\/p>\n Photo By: Mikey Jay@mikeyhjames<\/p><\/div>\n If you’re ready for a fun show and a wild night out without the roaring of animals, then book your tickets online here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Sunita Mager – Though the traditional Cambodian circus art carved on ancient temples within the country point to the usage of animals during their shows, modern circus arts in Cambodia has taken a huge step away from involving any animals in their circus acts.
