Afghanistan is currently playing Zimbabwe in a men’s T20 cricket international. I’m all for sport, but I think both countries have more urgent priorities. #circuses

“Revolution? I’d love to be involved, but there’s a really good series on Netflix right now. So, sorry…..” #priorities #circuses

@inthehands But it’s so shiny! #circuses

@jeffjarvis There’s a really good series on Netflix right now. Can we hold off the revolution until the end of that? Then I’m in, unless something else good comes along. #circuses #shinythings

Of course, these #horses should never have been enlisted in the #army. They should never have been forced to #parade around the busy streets. And like many exploited #animals, they saw an escape and they ran.

Whether in #circuses, #race courses, #slaughterhouses, or #farms, we have seen countless examples of animals running for their freedom and their lives. They are resisting, and as long as that struggle continues, we will stand in their corner.

The zoo will be open from 4 to 5 p.m. Matinees will be given each day from Tuesday, The box plan is at The Bristol.
