Volcano Activity Summary for 27 May 2026:

Update: Illinois: Big Cats, Primates, and Bears Need Reps to Vote for HB4255

Update (May 22, 2026): This bill has passed in both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly and is headed to the governor’s desk. If you have a minute, please consider speaking up for animals forced to perform in traveling acts in states that haven’t enacted a ban!


Original post:

If signed into law, this bill will expand existing legislation prohibiting the use of elephants in traveling acts to include big cats such as lions and tigers , non-human primates, and bears. Animals suffer tremendously in these types of traveling acts and are often trained with cruel and vicious methods. Circuses and traveling exhibitors have been caught whipping and confining lions and tigers, leashing monkeys to dogs and racing them, and beating and punishing bears to get them to do confusing and meaningless tricks. Long story short, it is unacceptable that this clear animal abuse has not been outlawed already.
