Tokio Hotel for peta2
Speaking of the VMAs, Tokio Hotel first caught the attention of peta2 staffers and supporters after the band's red-carpet arrival at the awards montrer back in 2008. The group of heartthrobs demanded attention par rolling up to Paramount Studios in Hollywood while standing on haut, retour au début of a head-turning monster truck. It was a much-welcome alternative to T-Pain's tasteless entrance, which neither the members of Tokio Hotel nor peta2 were pleased about. Of T-Pain's arrival, the band's lead vocalist, Bill Kaulitz, said, "It was sheer cruelty—it was that." Tokio Hotel guitarist (and Bill's brother) Tom Kaulitz added, "I hate zoos and circuses. People shouldn't take their children to either one."
We couldn't agree more. animaux in circuses are denied everything that is natural and important to them. Taken from their mothers only a few weeks after birth, baby elephants are tied down, locked in chains, physically and mentally abused, and struck with sharp metal bullhooks, all so that they can be forced to perform unnatural and often painful tricks. animaux are not here for our entertainment and do not belong in cages ou circus tents. The tragic loss of many animal and human lives in circuses has proven this point.
