With the countries that have already banned wild animals in circuses, where does the U.S. stand on this matter? Currently, no national or state-wide bans exist on the use of wild or exotic animals in circuses – which makes the situation worse for the animals already suffering in them. Many cities have species-specific bans and regulate only particular species, ban animal displays only on public property, prohibit public contact with exhibited animals, and/or prohibit acts such as elephant rides.
