Let’s enjoy looking back while we wait for the Kaulitz App (in two days!!!)

In chained and blood-smeared Bill and Tom show in dark surroundings. The subject is published internationally: in addition to Europe, it is also seen in the U.S. and Asia.

“You just have to imagine sometimes that animals be held so long, her life!” Alternatives “like” circus animal performances with Bill must be prohibited, there are enough interesting
Specifically, the musicians do parents who have their children go to the circus, often with this design also appeal. “Especially parents must develop a consciousness here.” Says Tom.

The two vegetarians also wonder about the Federal Government: On 17 October 2003, the Federal Council unanimously sent a clear signal to the federal government and in a resolution to ban wild animals in the circus (especially elephants, monkeys and bears) voted. The federal government still does not move and makes animal abuse to continue!

A recent representative survey of the Society for Consumer Research in Nuremberg (April 2010) clearly shows that two thirds of the population of wild animals in circuses are no longer timely. And the Federal Animal Medical Association in April 2010 clearly spoken words, and animal welfare reasons, the prohibition of wild animals in traveling circuses called out.

While European countries such as Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Bulgaria and others have long since imposed a ban on wild animals, the federal government remains passive and thus ignorant of animal suffering.

I know it has been controversial that some find the pictures hot, but let’s face it. They are. PETA has often allowed the celebs who promote their various causes to be sexy… i.e., nakkie women, women covered in lettuce and so forth.

Here are the images.

So, how about you, are you conflicted at finding the images to be sexy for such a serious message?

PETA mentions how they first got attention from PETA at the VMA 2008, where they took home best new artist.

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 show back in 2008. The group of heartthrobs demanded attention by rolling up to Paramount Studios in Hollywood while standing on top 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.”

“Wild animals out of the circus!”

Bill & Tom from Tokio Hotel stand up for animals
The twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz protest by Germany’s internationally most successful rock band Tokio Hotel with an elaborate photo opportunity for the use of animals in the entertainment industry: “the slaves of the entertainment industry: out of wild animals from the circus” is the slogan with which the musicians for the first time now participate in a PETA campaign.

In chained and blood-smeared Bill and Tom show in dark surroundings. The subject is published internationally: in addition to Europe, it is also seen in the U.S. and Asia.

“You only have time to imagine that animals are kept all their lives like that!”, “To be a circus performances with animals must be prohibited, there are plenty of exciting alternatives,” said Bill,
Specifically, the musicians will appeal to parents who are still often with their children to the circus, with this design. “Especially here, parents need to develop a consciousness.” said Tom.

The two vegetarians also wonder about the Federal Government: On 17 October 2003, the Federal Council unanimously sent a clear signal to the federal government and in a resolution to ban wild animals in the circus (especially elephants, monkeys and bears) voted. The federal government still does not move and makes animal abuse to continue!

A recent representative survey of the Society for Consumer Research in Nuremberg (April 2010) clearly shows that two thirds of the population of wild animals in circuses are no longer timely. And the Federal Chamber of Veterinary Surgeons in April 2010, well spoken words and called for reasons of animal protection, the prohibition of wild animals in traveling circuses.

While European countries such as Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Bulgaria, etc. have already imposed a ban on wild animals, the federal government remains passive and thus ignorant of animal suffering.
