PETA Campaign

Bill and Tom have been featured in a PETA campaign. Here is a behind the scenes video of the shoot (above).

The twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz of Germany's internationally most successful rock band Tokio Hotel to protest with an elaborate photo opportunity for the use of animals in the entertainment industry. "The Slaves of the entertainment industry: Wild animals out of the circus!" Is the slogan with which the musicians, for the first time now participate in a PETA campaign.

Chained and blood-smeared, Bill and Tom are seen in dark surroundings. This theme will be published internationally. In addition to Europe will be on display in the U.S. and Asia.

"You only have time to imagine that animals are kept all their lives like that! Circus performances with animals should be prohibited," Bill says. "There are plenty of interesting alternatives!" Specifically, the musicians want to appeal to parents who often bring their children to the circus, where the theme is shown. "We believe parents need to develop this awareness," says Tom.

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

A recent survey by the representatives of the Association for Consumer Research in Nuremberg (April 2010) clearly shows that two-thirds of wild animals in circuses are no longer in use. And the Federal Chamber of vets in April 2010 expressed a clear word from the protection of animals applied for a ban on wild animals in circuses.

While European countries such as Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Bulgaria and others have long since imposed a ban to remove the wild animals, the federal government remains passive and suffering of animals does not know.
