Manchester by the Sea's Casey Affleck has teamed up with PETA to star in its new campaign video, calling on families to avoid circuses that use live animals.

The video shows examples of the cages that tigers are confined to when they're not performing, and Affleck commented 'This industry tears families apart and subjects individuals to a life of torment and deprivation. Trainers drag the big cats around by heavy chains or ropes around their necks and hit them with sticks, poles, and whips. They beat them mercilessly and bully them into jumping through hoops'.
