Animal welfare is at the heart of our work. Scientific research continues to develop and proves to us that, for wild animals, a nomadic life in cramped trailers cannot ensure their well-being; as is training, which we disapprove of. This unsuitable environment cannot allow animals to satisfy their physiological needs.
With the biodiversity crisis and the awareness of animal welfare, it is no longer tolerable to maintain and exploit wild animals in these conditions. The “animal welfare” law passed by the French government in 2021 confirms this moral evolution.
Circassians are wonderful artists presenting exceptional animal-free acts. When they own wild animals, we don't doubt the love they have for them. This is why we want to support them in their efforts to move towards circuses without wild animals.
