Bill: Tom and I are vegetarians, but above all we don't want animals to be tortured and that animals live in a circus. Animals have to do this, you have to imagine that, and are responsible for the amusement of people.
That's why we shoot today some photos and put ourselves in chains. In the first moment people think , that it is funny and that the animals have fun, but the reality is of course different. Of course the animals were not kept humanely, and for running so nicely in the round, training is necessary and here and there a few slaps.
Tom: There are always parents, who go to the circus, with their very little children. The little children knows nothing about the source, and that's why parents have to develop the awareness, that this is not okay.
Bill: Otherwise, there is a wonderful circus with artists, there, everyone can go. We did it also.
Tom: Now the second motive, now we are in the cage.
Interviewer: Can you empathize with a caged animal?
Tom: No, I don't think so. It's a thousand times worse. We are only here for ten minutes to take a picture, but that's already enough.
Bill: We see a lot with animals in show business in general, whether TV-Shows, performances, video-shoots, that was something, that we strictly denied.
An animal don't get it, it's caged and I couldn't stand it. If I think about it, I am at tears at once.
The first dog that we got from the animal shelter was seriously injured. He had burn scares all over his ears, because the former owner stubbed out their cigarettes on it. He had bad teeth because as puppy, they gave him beer to drink. Those were experiences, which characterized us.
Hey, we are Bill and Tom from Tokio Hotel and we support Peta. Don't let the wild-animals down, they belong into the wild and not in the circus. And to support all of this, go on www.peta.de and get informed.
