Stop Circus Suffering

The Welsh Government is under increasing pressure to ban wild animal circus acts in Wales.

Animal Defenders International (ADI) is calling on MPs to support a government backed bill to ban the use of wild animals in circuses.

Animal Defenders International (ADI) congratulates the UK Government on committing to ban the use of wild animals in travelling circuses in England by January 2020.

Animal Defenders International (ADI) welcomes the statement from Lesley Griffiths, Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs which gives the strongest indication yet that the Welsh Government will ban wild animals in circuses, hot on the heels of Scotland and Ireland.

ADI is urging Assembly Members to support a ban on wild animals in circuses when it comes up for debate in the Senedd, as proposed by the Petitions Committee following the presentation of a petition signed by more than 6,000 people who want a ban.

Animal Defenders International (ADI) has welcomed reports today that a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses in England is finally to be progressed by the UK Government.
