According to László Gajdos, wild animals legally kept in circuses can be cared for for the rest of their lives, but they will not be able to be further reproduced and performed.
László Gajdos, the Minister responsible for the living environment, promised upon taking office that the government would ban the use of circus animals.
A historic decision has been made, wild animals will be permanently banned from domestic circuses - The regulation will come into effect in 2027, the details were announced by László Gajdos.
Circuses will be able to keep the animals they already have, but they will no longer be allowed to perform. This is how circuses will change from 2027.
A government decree has been issued that, citing ethical and animal welfare reasons, will ban the use of wild animals in circuses from January 1, 2027. The regulation also prohibits companies from purchasing, keeping and breeding a number of mammals, birds and reptiles, so only domesticated animal species are exempt from the ban.
The Minister of the Living Environment, László Gajdos, has kept his promise made upon taking office. The government decree banning the use of circus animals was published on Thursday evening. The legislation was created citing ethical and animal protection reasons and will come into effect from 2027.
