We believe all animals should live free from exploitation,
harm and captivity.
Captive Animals began as the Captive Animals' Protection
Society in 1957 and is one of the UK’s longest-running
charities working to protect animals.
Through a combination of undercover investigations, research,
campaigns, grassroots activism, political lobbying and
education, our work for animals focuses predominantly on
issues affecting those individuals held captive in circuses,
zoos and aquariums, as well as those used in the television
and film industry, live animal displays and the exotic pet
trade.
