You can help stop the abuse of captive wild animals in circuses in New York!  

Take action today by contacting your Assemblymember and asking them to support state bill A05850, which would prohibit the use of bears, wild cats (includes big cats like lions and tigers plus smaller cats like cheetahs and servals), nonhuman primates, kangaroos, and wallabies in traveling shows.

In 2017, New York made the humane decision to ban the use of elephants in traveling shows in the state. It’s now time to protect these other wild animals from a life of misery on the road that forces them to adapt to abnormal surroundings and perform unnatural behaviors.  

Wild animals have complex emotional, behavioral, and physical needs that cannot be satisfied by traveling shows. With your help, we can stop these cruel forms of entertainment and provide a more humane life for wild animals in captivity.
