Washington has a critical chance to ban the cruel use of wild animals in traveling circuses — but time is running out. Senate Bill 5065 would stop the use of elephants, big cats, bears, and nonhuman primates in live shows across the state. These animals allegedly face relentless abuse, forced to perform unnatural tricks under threat, and live confined in tiny cages with no mental or physical stimulation. This isn’t harmless fun — it’s cruelty disguised as entertainment.
Sign the petition now to urge Governor Bob Ferguson to sign SB 5065 into law. Eight states, including California and Colorado, have already taken this compassionate step. Washington must be next.
This bill doesn’t ban circuses — it bans abuse. Real entertainment doesn’t require suffering.
Sign the petition now to stop this exploitation and help create a kinder world for wild animals.
