In order to ensure animals in circuses are treated humanely, there are several measures that should be taken. Firstly, animals should be provided with sufficient housing, shade and shelter from extreme temperatures. They must also have access to sufficient veterinary care and adequate food and water. Furthermore, they must not be over-worked or otherwise stressed beyond what is necessary for the performance; the environment of the circus must be kept clean and hygienic; physical contact between the animals and performers should not occur unless it is absolutely necessary; appropriate behavioral manipulation should not happen; as well as frequent assessments of each species' mental wellbeing should take place to check for any signs of distress.

Measures should be taken to ensure that animals in circuses are handled with the utmost care, kindness and respect. Regulations and guidelines must be put in place regarding housing, medical care, transportation and training in order to prevent cruelty. Further, special permits should be issued indicating compliance with animal welfare standards when it comes to using animals for entertainment purposes. Finally, regular inspections should take place to make sure animals are being adequately cared for both by staff as well as owners.
