Wild or undomesticated animals have well-established psychological, behavioral and environmental needs. Hawaiian Humane opposes confining animals in ways that fail to meet these needs an opposes using wild animals in entertainment such as wildlife shows, circuses and fairs.

Hawaiian Humane Society opposes animal contests that cause the neglect, abuse or exploitation of animals. These events desensitize people to animal suffering. We oppose any practice that may cause pain, suffering, injury or death to any animal in activities such as advertising, rodeos and circuses.
