Stop Circus Suffering - Stop Circus Suffering

The global campaign to end the suffering of animals in circuses

Stop Circus Suffering is a major campaign by Animal Defenders International to end the suffering of animals in circuses. Built on the hard-hitting evidence of our undercover investigations, ADI runs awareness campaigns; lobbies governments and municipalities; and works with partner groups. The campaign has seen many successes including the closure of circuses, rescue of animals, and local and national bans - to date, thirty-two countries have taken measures to prohibit animal circuses!
