EU Wide Ban of Wild Animals in Circuses

Wild animals in circuses are destined to a life of physical abuse and mental torture. Circuses are travelling entertainment services moving around Europe, and performing wild animals are transported across Member States, where circuses pose severe public safety and animal health and welfare risks. That’s why there needs to be an EU wide ban on the use of wild animals in circuses, since bans at the national level won’t prevent these movements with all the risks and distresses for the animals. By making animal welfare a shared competence between the Union and Member States, such a ban would have an unambiguous legal basis. We need the Union to have such a clear competence. There is strong political and public support, as demonstrated through a petition of over 1 million signatures.
