TAPS is a grassroots, all-volunteer organization headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania working to end the use of animals in traveling circuses. TAPS engages in local action including organizing protests of circuses, conducting year-round educational outreach, and placing advertising against animal circuses on public buses. We also offer national support by providing up-to-date information about traveling circuses on our website for citizens to use to organize protests in their local communities. Our ultimate goal is to permanently ban the use of all animals in circuses mandated through legislation.
