The Captive Animals' Protection Society (CAPS) was established in 1957. Founder Irene Heaton was appalled by the suffering of animals within the entertainment industry, and campaigned tirelessly on their behalf throughout the rest of her life.
It is through her efforts and the influence and hard work of her successors, that CAPS can be recognised today as one of this country's leading campaigning organisations on behalf of animals in circuses, zoos, and the entertainments industry.
Over the past 40 years, CAPS has helped individuals and organisations with their own projects, both in the UK and abroad, by supplying them with information, photographs, video footage and other forms of support, including financial assistance. We hope that animals have benefited from our efforts and, in Britain at least, there is evidence that captive animals are being accorded a greater degree of respect and understanding than was the case in the past.
You Can Help!
The CAPS campaign strategy is working and we need your help to continue to be effective. Only by exposing suffering can we help the animals.
Your help is vital in helping to end the suffering of animals in captivity, without it more animals will continue to suffer.
There are still EIGHT circuses travelling the UK alone that use animals. Many more zoos and other places where animals shouldn't be. Help CAPS help these animals.
