Stop Circus Suffering

The trial of Bobby and Moira Roberts

As many of our supporters will have seen in the news, the trial of Bobby and Moira Roberts on charges under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, over the treatment of the circus elephant Anne, is imminent. The initial hearing has now been moved to 1st December.

In March 2011, a daring ADI investigation exposed the sickening abuse of Anne the elephant and other animals at Bobby Roberts’ Super Circus winter quarters in the UK.

The Crown Prosecution Service has today agreed to take on the prosecution of Bobby and Moira Roberts in relation to the mistreatment of their circus elephant “Anne”.
