Urge international partners to ban the use of wild animals in circuses

Urge international partners to ban the use of wild animals in circuses — 13 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We want the UK Government to use its diplomatic influence, trade discussions, and international forums to encourage global partners including Germany, the US, and Australia to implement full bans on wild animals in circuses.

Additional details

The UK successfully banned wild animals in travelling circuses in 2019. However, animals like elephants, bears, and big cats are still legally forced to perform in other major nations. The UK should lead on animal welfare globally and pressure international partners to end this practice.
