 ECA animal fund
The European Circus Association (ECA) has created a Circus Animal Fund. With contributions made to the Fund, ECA will be able to undertake more work to protect the rights of circuses and trainers to continue to present animals as part of the classical circus. Contributions made to the Fund will be used exclusively for this purpose under the direction of the ECA Board of Directors.
ECA will produce a new collectible pin each year to encourage support for the Fund. ECA’s first collectible pin (2008) features a tiger, celebrating the long-standing contribution of cage acts to the classical circus programme.
Individuals having paid a minimal contribution of 25 Euros to the funds receive this new collectible pin.

Why ECA? Circus is Culture
The classical circus is known through out the world as a variety of acts presented in a central ring involving artistic displays, acrobatics, clowns, music, animals, and mind-boggling feats of strength, beauty and daring. The modern European circus can be traced to London around 1770. Today more than 1,000 circuses thrive across Europe. Many are owned or managed by and feature talented descendants of the original great circus families. The European Circus Association (ECA) was established to promote circus arts and culture, thereby protecting this important part of our shared heritage. Our Vision >>

ECA offers proposed model regulation for the care, transport and presentation of animals in the circus ECA Supports the Establishment of Good Regulations The European Circus Association (ECA) strongly supports the establishment of appropriate regulations to ensure the welfare of all animals under human care. Concerning animals in circuses, there is no legal basis for European Community wide legislation. ECA therefore recommends that countries that have not already done so enact circus-specific legislation at the national level. Read more >>
