Animals in captivity at Ontario’s roadside zoos deserve better
Animals across Ontario are trapped in degrading conditions due to insufficient regulations. In Ontario, anyone can operate a zoo or own wild animals without needing a licence, expertise or justifiable reason. This lack of oversight leads to widespread neglect and suffering.
Join us in calling on the Ontario government for stronger provincial regulations and meaningful enforcement. With your support, we are striving to make this the last year that roadside zoos operate unregulated.
Our vision is a world where animals live free from cruelty and suffering. Together we can move the world to protect animals.
Roadside zoos set the poorest standard for how we see and treat captive wildlife.
In Ontario, you don’t need expertise, a reason or a licence to operate a zoo or buy dangerous animals like a tiger or lion.
Our report highlights how current provincial regulations are failing to protect thousands of captive wild animals.
