Action Alert

Massachusetts: Help Protect Animals from Inhumane Circuses and Traveling Acts

This action is for Massachusetts residents only.

Captive wild animals in traveling shows spend most of their days in cramped, barren cages, deprived of the ability to engage in their natural behaviors. Forced to perform frightening and sometimes painful “tricks,” they often endure a lifetime of misery.

An Act Relative to the Use of Elephants, Big Cats, Primates, Giraffes, and Bears in Traveling Exhibits and Shows (S.2197/S.2189/H.3245) would prohibit the use of certain wild animals in traveling shows in the Commonwealth. It would not impact non-mobile facilities.

Contact your legislators today and urge them to support this important legislation. Below is some sample language you can use to help write your message, but remember, personalized messages are the most impactful!
