Petition: End Animal Cruelty at Shriners Circuses Now

Shriners International says it’s built on compassion—but many of its chapters still Support animal circuses, where cruelty is the norm. Footage from Shrine events has exposed elephants jabbed with bullhooks, tigers whipped in the face, and other animals exploited for entertainment.

Experts confirm that these animals aren’t performing out of trust or training—they’re forced through fear, pain, and psychological abuse. Tigers are locked in tiny cages. Elephants are coerced into doing tricks under threat of punishment. This isn’t family fun—it’s speciesism in action.

Shriners can do better. It’s time they commit to cruelty-free entertainment and stop supporting events that exploit animals.

Sign the petition now to demand Shriners International ban animal circuses at all their fundraisers. Let’s push for compassion that includes all species. Sign now—speak up for the voiceless.
