Stop Circus Suffering

Cirkus Scott announced today that they will no longer feature wild animal acts after 76 years of doing so.

ADI has expressed its disappointment that a number of big cats are to be subjected to a lifetime of circus suffering, following reports by the BBC that tigers bred in the UK by Martin Lacey, the owner of the infamous Great British Circus, will be sent to his sons’ circus in Germany.

On 4 September 2013, the Ministry of Agriculture held a roundtable meeting on the use of animals in circuses.

ADI is delighted to be working with the German group “Initiative wildtierfreier Zirkus Halle” who are campaigning to secure a circus ban in Halle on the Saale.

Public opinion polls over the years have shown consistent support for a ban on wild animals in travelling circuses.

A new YouGov poll has confirmed once again that the British public oppose the use of ALL wild animals in circuses.
