Stop Circus Suffering

Our Irish partners ARAN have started the year with lively and peaceful demonstrations in Waterford and Galway as part of Stop Circus Suffering in Ireland.

Our campaign partner ARAN have been busy this month demonstrating against animal circuses in Ireland

As part of their ‘Stop Circus Suffering in Ireland’ campaign, ARAN plan to hold a lively peaceful demonstration in Waterford.

Animal Defenders International are proud to have been working with ARAN for several years now, on campaigns to end the suffering and abuse of animals in travelling circuses and the use of animals in experiments. Both campaigns show that together we can make a difference; we can stop the needless suffering of animals.

A huge 10-foot inflatable elephant accompanied representatives of Animal Defenders International to a meeting at the Department of Agriculture in Dublin for a last-chance presentation calling for a ban on the use of animals in circuses.

Following a motion introduced by Socialist Party member Clare Daly last night at the council meeting Fingal County Council is set to pass a policy that will end all ‘wild’ animal circus performances on County Council land.
