Stop Circus Suffering

Award-winning actors Sir Roger Moore KBE, best known as James Bond, and Imelda Staunton OBE, who stars in new Disney film Maleficent, have joined ADI’s Stop Circus Suffering campaign.

Award-winning actors Sir Roger Moore KBE and Imelda Staunton OBE have written to the Queen to urge her to include a commitment to a wild animal circus ban in her speech at the State Opening of Parliament on 4th June.

ADI and Code Animal have condemned ‘The 100-year-old man who climbed out the window and disappeared’ for its use of an abused circus elephant. The film is directed by Felix Herngren and opens in cinemas across France on 28th May.

Please ask your MP – as a matter of urgency – to sign EDM 1301 which calls on the British government to introduce legislation to ban wild animals in circuses in Parliament.

ADI has called for a ban on the use of wild animals in travelling circuses, on both ethical and welfare grounds, in its detailed response to the Scottish Government’s consultation on the use of wild animals in circuses, which closed yesterday.

United call for circus ban leads to commitment from Prime Minister
