    The RSPCA is opposed to the use of animals in circuses.

    We don't believe that wild animals should be subjected to the confinement, constant transportation and abnormal social groups associated with circus life.

    Asking these majestic animals to behave in unnatural ways in the name of entertainment is a disgrace - a disgrace which is already banned in several other European countries.

    New evidence
    New evidence shows that on average, wild animals spend just one to nine per cent of their time training and performing, and the rest confined to cages, wagons or typically small, inadequate enclosures. Worst affected by circus life are elephants, lions and tigers. Often they're confined to cages where they pace up and down for hours on end.

    Public opinion
    Surveys commissioned by the RSPCA and Animal Defenders International over the past decade have consistently shown that the public supports an end to the use of animals travelling and performing with circuses. This is entertainment stuck in the Victorian era and has no place in the 21st century.

    Take action - how you can help if you live in England
    Defra promised three years ago that wild animals in travelling circuses would be banned - yet lions, tigers, elephants and other animals still tour in England today. So, we've launched The Big Stop campaign.

    The circus seems to be really popular (despite the controversy over the use of animals) and if you walk passed the big top when a show is on you can hear the crowd screaming in delight!
