Interview translated by billandRocks:
Bill: Look, we are vegetarians and most important we don't want animals to be tortured, to live in a circus....Take a look: animals have to be in such a position! They are responsible for the amusement of people and that's why we're doing this photoshooting today and put ourselves in chains.
At first sight people are amused by watching such things and believe the animals have fun, but the truth is totally different. Their lives are not appropriate to the species and for "walking in a circle like this" there's some training needed plus beating.
Tom: There are always parents going to a circus with their kids. And the smallest of our society have no clue of what's going on, for sure! That's why parents have to be aware of these bad things.
Bill: And to add this, there are lots of circus sorts with human artists and all.
Second Scene
Tom: Now there's the second shoot!Now we're locked in a cage.
Interviewer: How do you feel being locked in like an animal? Okay?
Tom: No, I don't think so. For an animal it must be the worst. I mean were inside of this for only 10 mins to take this photo. That's enough though.
Bill: In general we notice a lot of animal "use" in the business whether it's music videos, TV shows etc. That's something we totally were against!
I mean an animal is simply locked in and doesn't know why. And and I really can't stand to evben imagine this, then I get teary eyes immediately!
Bill: The first dog we rescued out of a animal shelter was hardly injured and had scars on its ears because the owner stubbed out his cigarettes on the dog's ears. And he had worse teeth because he only got beer to drink when he was a puppy and so on. Those are experiences which impressed us.
Tom: Absolutely!
"Hey! We are Bill and Tom from Tokio Hotel and we support PETA! Don't let wildlife animals down, give them their freedom back and don't put them into circus! If you're interested, then to on peta.de and inform yourself!"
